The After-XTT project which has picked up the long orphaned
xtt truetype font renderer has submitted patches to xtt which
recently were committed to the CVS.
One of the changes prepares for the extention of the font encoding field:
[From the changelog]
- Preparation for extending the encoding field of XLFD. X-TT permits
the following additional XLFD format:
"-foo-foo-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-foo.2000-0.0"
"-foo-foo-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-foo.2000-0.1"
The last number can be used to indicate the plane number of a huge
character set.
This will work around an Xlib problem that the XCharStruct
array of huge - but sparsely populated - fonts can get large.
To get a uniform behavior it would be desirable if the 'plane' field
would be interpreted equally by all renderers.
Ideas/comments/opinions on this extensions?
Egbert.
