Re: Line style

I wasn't aware that you could do this with X fonts directly.  I guess I
will have to look it up in the X documentation.

One other option I didn't mention is the display postscript extension, but
it is still quite rare -- especially on free unix's.  This seems to have
held up projects like gnustep and gyve, since display ghostscript has been
taking a while to complete.
