It seems that some mail I posted to the list yesterday from the uni never arrived ... so I will try again from home.

I share the sentiment, but was not able to find any functions in the gtk/gdk that would allow me to change the font path (I find the documentation somewhat limited ...), and because the code needs to be able to trap an X error, it has to install its own error handler, which I doubt gdk has API for (to avoid any unnecessary panic, we only do this for a very short time, and reinstall the original handler straight away). However, if there is a way to do this via gdk which I missed, then I am all in favour. Tomas PS: We already have a couple of raw X call elsewhere, needing to get around some missing gtk/gdk api in the font handling (gdk uses the same function for drawing with 8 and 16-bit fonts, and depending on the nature of the font it expects either single-byte or double-byte string, but it does not provide means to determine whether a given font is 8 or 16 bit). ********************************************* [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.frydrych.net PGP keys: http://www.frydrych.net/contact.html
