I suppose, as Sarose wrote above, the C library (glibc et. al) do not support your font requirements as such. However, lot of third-party libraries such as libttf et. al are already packaged up on debian-derived distribs (this is on HH) - $ aptitude update ........ $ aptitude search libttf p libttf-dev - Old FreeType 1 development files (static library and headers) p libttf2 - Old FreeType 1 TrueType font engine, shared library files $ aptitude search sdl | grep ttf p cl-sdl-ttf - Support for the SDL_ttf library in Common p libsdl-ttf2.0-0 - ttf library for Simple DirectMedia Layer w p libsdl-ttf2.0-dev - development files for SDL ttf library (ver >> if you have some information about them please help. >> >> Also i you have some nepali fonts in CHR format, please provide me. I believe you can easily use those library/s in your C code. hth cheers :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
