It's actually far better to use fontforge to convert the BDF files to SFNT files using 10646 encoding. Fontconfig and Xft only handle Unicode encodings, and the X server will automatically transcode SFNT files to whatever encoding you desire. Using BDF files means you have to generate separate font files for any encoding you use with the X server, and you still have to use Unicode with Xft and fontconfig. SFNT is the preferred format for all fonts; I keep hoping to get some time to finish the work to erradicate BDF and PCF fonts from the X world. -keith
