My intention is mainly on variable-width fonts. So far XFree86 doesn't have any ISO10646 fonts with as many characters as possible, both for variable-width and fixed-width. For fixed-width applications, we can take XTerm-like two-fonts approach or GNU UNIFONT approach. However, for variable-width applications, we have no fonts so far. In short, I want an iso10646 substitution of a font named "variable". --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
