Mike, you did not pick up on what I thought was wrong: When I go to Preferences -> Fonts, use the 'Fonts for:' dropdown to select "User defined", then click on the 'Cursive:' dropdown, I get a LIST of fonts installed in my OS/2 system. You are *right* that this list is *not* limited to cursive fonts (i.e., the routine which showed this list did not internally identify which were cursive). But _this_ behavior is not what I was complaining about -- _I_ can recognize which fonts are cursive even if the routine can not.
When I go to Preferences -> Fonts, use the 'Fonts for:' dropdown to select "Western", then click on the 'Cursive:' dropdown, NOTHING happens. (In fact, the 'selected' entry field for that dropdown already says: "No fonts available in this language".) What I thought was wrong was that 2001112609 __told__ me "No fonts available" for 'Cursive:' when "Western" was selected, but gave me a *whole list* of fonts (among which were some ACTUAL cursive fonts) for 'Cursive:' when "User Defined" was selected. To say "No fonts available" for 'Cursive:' "Western" is plain WRONG for my system. mikus On Tue, 27 Nov 2001 19:55:13 -0600 Michael Kaply <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You might have cursive fonts, but they are not identified as such > internally. > > Determining fonts is tricky business.
