Hi, I try to make my first moves with Xft, and yet I am struggeling with the handling of core fonts ...
If a pass a XLFD-pattern for a specific (core) font to XftFontOpenXlfd, it seems that I *always* only get back Xft fonts, no matter how good or bad they match. Even if a core font would match the XLFD much much better ... Here is some output of a small toy program that I wrote, that opens a font using XftFontOpenXlfd and shows the according Xft pattern using XftNameUnparsed: (gdb) run "-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-60-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" unparsed: Courier 10 Pitch-6:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=100:pixelsize=8.33641:encoding=iso8859-1:core=False:antialias=True:xlfd=-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-60-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*:index=0:outline=True:scalable=True:rgba=0:render=True:minspace=False (gdb) run "-*-charter-*-*-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" unparsed: Bitstream Charter-10:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=100:pixelsize=13.894:encoding=iso8859-1:core=False:antialias=True:xlfd=-*-charter-*-*-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*:index=0:outline=True:scalable=True:rgba=0:render=True:minspace=False (gdb) run "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-m-60-iso8859-1" unparsed: Courier 10 Pitch-10:style=Bold:slant=0:weight=200:pixelsize=10:encoding=iso8859-1:foundry=b&h:core=False:antialias=True:xlfd=-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-m-60-iso8859-1:index=0:outline=True:scalable=True:rgba=0:render=True:minspace=False All of the selected fonts are antialiased non-core fonts. Especially for the third pattern, I'd rather get the specified core font ... :-) So is there any way to tell Xft that *only* core fonts (i.e. old and ugly non-antialiased Xlib fonts) should be opened when using XftFontOpenXlfd? Cheers, Matthias P.S. I'm using the Xft lib shipped with XFree 4.1.0.1 which was preinstalled on my PC here. -- Matthias Neubauer | Universit�t Freiburg, Institut f�r Informatik | tel +49 761 203 8060 Georges-K�hler-Allee 79, 79110 Freiburg i.
