Several years ago I've cyrillized a number of standard X bitmap fonts (they are supplied with most Linux distros today), and will be glad to either add mongolian or help you with mongolian support. _ Dmitry Yu.

Mark, you are right -- the www.xfree86.org/pipermail/ had silently disappeared, and no announcements were made at least here. Keith, can you please clarify the situation? _ Dmitry Yu.

Re: [Fonts]Mandrake 7.2 xfs not preserving font dir order?
On Sat, 22 Dec 2001, Ian! D. Allen [NCFreeNet] wrote: The font beautification HOWTO went to great length to get us to put better-looking fonts in front of worse ones in the xfs config file; but, as best as I can tell, the order of the font paths in the /etc/X11/fs/config file is irrelevant to the order in which a font will be selected when I ask for one. All the fonts are simply sorted alphabetically, and when Netscape needs an Arial font, it gets the first one it finds (alphabetically). If I happen to install a font directory with fonts named -a-stuff-stuff-stuff..., those fonts will take priority over all my other fonts, even if I put the font directory last in my xfs config file. Renaming the fonts to begin with -zz-stuff-stuff-stuff... (in the fonts.dir file) means that these fonts are now chosen last, even if I put this font directory first in my xfs config file. Is this the way it is supposed to work? In fact, that is Netscape's behaviour, not X11's. Netscape gets a complete list of fonts for a given charset (e.g. Western (iso-8859-1)), and sorts it alphabetically. You can see this list in the Edit|Preferences|Appearance|Fonts. And than Netscape does its own matching on that list, in which case -aaa-FACENAME-... always gets precedence over -bbb-FACENAME- Yes, that's really a problem -- if you happen to have both Netscpe and AbiWord installed, Netscape always uses -AbiSource-Arial-... for FONT FACE=Arial,Helvetica, and Arial is awful at small sizes. To check that X11 does obey font path order, try using xfd -fn '-*-FACENAME-*' -- it will show you the font which is earlier in font path, not in the alphabet. And it is true for both xfs config and XFree86's FontPath. _ Dmitry Yu.
