I think that it queries the OS for the settings (e.g. in the Gnome Appearance Preferences window, or the Display control panel in Windows). I don’t know whether particular OSes can get that infomration directly from the monitor. > I think the only reliable option is, as has already been suggested, > to provide the user with a text tuning screen which displays text > rendered using the various hints and allows them to select the most > legible one. If that information isn’t available via this desktop property, then yes, that’s what would be needed. -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
