Pd doesn't do anything like that. in fact, most applications don't do anything like that. fonts are a *hard* problem, that's why these problems are typically solved centrally (on the toolkit level (eg Tcl/Tk) or even lower). there are of course exceptions to this: eg Gem handles the fonts on its own (using a library; I'm not crazy enough attempting to handle fonts myself). as a rule of thumb: if you don't specify the font-file directly (eg `/path/to/DejaVuSans-Mono.ttl`) but rather the font name (eg "DejaVu Sans Mono"), then you are working with a high level interface that will use multiple fonts to render a glyph. price question: when selecting a font for Pd (using the `-font-face` cmdline option), do you specify the font by filename, or by the font-name? mfg.hft.fsl IOhannes _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
