Be aware that modern X systems pretty much have two separate font systems - the old-style XLFD Xlib system, which is probably what xlsfont would list, I suspect, and the more recent, anti-alised XFT systm which handles Truetype and OpenType and etc (and maybe some XLFD type fonts too.) So if you have built fltk with XFT, it may not see the same set of fonts as xlsfont does... That is why I suggest you to use the fltk font test program - it will show the fonts that fltk can readily enumerate and use. > > Moreover If i run xlsfont the output produces a lot of adobe- > helvetica and adobe-courier font that are not displayed > by the fltk font demo.

Yes - it is really much harder than it ought to be! -- Ian _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
