Given a setup with both truetype and type1 versions of a given set of fonts (as is seen w/ most installs w/ the Luxi fonts, and may show up with CM fonts), there should be a way via fonts.conf to prefer one or the other format.
Not all such fonts have the same name. The ttf versions of lucida fonts shipped with sun's java runtimes/sdks show up with different names via fontconfig than the (mostly�) equivalent type1 fonts. I understand adobe altered the names of the type1 libarary when they released them as otf. But I'm sure Luxi and CM are not the only 2 examples in the wild where the t1 /FullName and the ttf name table have identical strings. Another similar issue is different versions of the same font. It would be useful to order the fonts by version in the case of name collisions. As it is I don't see any way the users could determine which version -- ie which file on disk -- would be used for a given font specification w/o actually trying it out. -JimC � The ttf version have a *much* larger glyph repertoire than the type 1 versions I purchased from yandy.com; the latter may have been expanded since, but I doubt it. _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
