(note I am reposting this to the mailing list for completeness) I have added TrueType fonts in my linux box. I am using xfstt (ver1.1) to share all the fonts to my other systems. I tried using xfontsel but found it did not work correctly all the time. Xfontsel behaves badly when picking fonts specific to the font foundry (-2000p1-*...) It goes from first page of fonts to last page with no intermediate pages. If I specify * for 'fndry' it works with no problems. (note: 2000p1 is one set of my tt fonts) So I wonder how well your program can handle large amounts of fonts. eg 4023 for me so far. I got these from two disk of 2000 fonts each of True Type fonts sets. I also tried your program and found that you need a '*' option for all your option boxes. (set as default) I found that it would not pick any fonts I had added using xfstt. also it would not pick the large fonts (50,100,150 pt sizes) Note: I did see that your program did indeed get a entire list of fonts. Must be due to the xlsfonts (I think). btw. here is an excerpt of my output of xlsfont and all are truetype: -2000p1-adam's apple 8-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -2000p1-affair 1-medium-i-normal-italic-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -2000p1-airliner 1-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -2000p1-airliner 2-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -2000p1-airliner 3-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -2000p1-alembic 1-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -2000p1-alien 1-medium-r-normal-plain-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -2000p1-all night 1-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 (2000p1 is a directory of 2000 tt fonts - ala xlstt, 'p' = proporitonal) The xlsfonts list of mine is over 9000 lines long. Addition: I noticed that a lot of fonts use a '0' to indicate they are sizeable. Most of the fixed fonts use the specific size they are created for. Adding TrueType fonts is fairly easy with xfstt (font server), and I used it to add the default fonts from Win9x as well. Thnaks for your time. Carl |
