Hello John,

Alexander hasn't said what version of PilRC he's using.  Font families
got a lot less buggy in 3.1, so if he's using an older one, he should
certainly try it with 3.1 too.

I am using CodeWarrior 9.3 with Pilrc 3.1. I just peeked into the code of font.c and found this in the main routine DumpFontFamily():



if (densityCount < 2) Error("FontFamily must have 2 fonts with density 72 and 144.");


So obviously it is not possible at the moment to create a font family with only a high-res member. Too bad. :-( Maybe the Pilrc designers could rethink this in the future. It is not Pilrc that is designed badly - I think this whole extended font resource is a misdesign. It makes sense on PalmOS 5, but if you want to create an application that also runs on older PalmOSes, you have to double-include your low-res fonts. :-(


Alexander.
