Right now we support *uncoded* 8-bit characters and a 256 (er, 255 due to NUL-terminated strings) glyph map. Not quite a "font" or "encoding". Our default font is 7-bit. I agree that UTF-8 will be the *only* expansion option we'll take when we get to that point - but pcb supports iso-latin-1 8-bit at the moment, aside from the missing font issue. I think it would be cool to support freetype, but that would mean expanding the file sytax for text to include font information. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
