Good evening all,
I have found some of the information I needed in the rwindows.r file.
Some of the styles are not represented. I have also been able to
determine that true type fonts cannot be accessed. The fonts accessible
appear to be only those that have X Windows font file.
This now makes sense of the "Help Wanted" list under Fonts about using
the Freetype font engine and native fonts.
I now have a way to add all available X Windows fonts and have them
known by the common name.
I'll do further investigation into the code to see what I might be able
to contribute. I am no C expert so this may take some time to get anywhere.
At any rate regards to all and may the rats not be a plague for you.

Good evening all,
Now that I have a class which (at least under linux) gives me the
current monitors and their characteristics. I am no looking at the
font specification functions.
Given the following information:
from the program *fc-list*, I get the following selection of fonts
URW Gothic L:style=Book
URW Gothic L:style=Book Oblique
URW Gothic L:style=Demi
URW Gothic L:style=Demi Oblique
from the program *xlsfonts*, the corresponding list of fonts appears to be
-urw-urw gothic l-semibold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-urw-urw gothic l-semibold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
I can specify the font using either of the following
-urw-urw gothic l-semibold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
or
URW Gothic L,10,semi
However, in the second mode, I do not appear to be able to specify the
font as semibold. It is returned as
-urw-urw gothic l-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
Is there a specific value that needs to be used here? I would like to
use the program *fc-list* as a source for the extraction of available
fonts.
The program returns a variety of values in the style section of each
line. Examples from my system are:-
Regular
regular - lower case initial letter
Regular Italic
Light
Light Italic
Bold
Bold Italic
Italic
Roman
Condensed
Condensed Bold Oblique
Condensed Bold Italic
Bold Oblique - with space
BoldOblique - without space
Condensed Oblique
Condensed Italic
Book
Book Oblique
ExtraLight
ExtraBold
Medium
Medium Italic
Demi Bold
Demi Bold Italic
Demi
Demi Oblique
Some of these are easily matched, but other don't seem to have a
matching value. Is there a definitive list somewhere?

Bruce Rennie
