Yes, that should work... Ideally, there are a few enhancements to fontopen() that I'd like to include also, but that is less of a "drop in" replacement, so will require some careful merging! > Looking at fl_xxfont() I guess we could quite easily add > support for the > other standard fonts, too. Well, what I had envisaged doing (but have not yet done) is a much more complicated scheme (unnecessarily so?) to parse the requested font name into an XLFD, then query X to see if a font with that name exists. If it does, we load the named font at the closest size it provides. In general, this ought to get the correct face, at the requested size or possibly a size bigger or smaller, for a lot of cases. Maybe! If that fails, then we resort to something like my current hack, where we just search for a "system" font at the appropriate size and hope for the best! But... I don't know how well that will play. Should function OK, but I won't have time to look at this for a few days (possibly more.) -- Ian SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Limited Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
