Yea, it was stupid of me to try setting the size of a bitmap embedded font, whose glyphs are fixed size. Lesson learned! :) Also, as far as I understand now, with the case of bitmap embedded fonts, a user can look inside `face->available_sizes' to list all the available sizes and then set the one the user desires. Am I correct? Regards, Moazin
