No, it means that if you set one thing to be FontA 10pix and other to be FontB 20pix, you will get a really weird result, based in the order things are drawn, sometimes you will get the right font, sometimes the other. > > Then you just have to figure how to access old > > fonts via new system (say you like Terminus or one of the Fixed), or > > go with equivalent. > > http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Pango_draw%28%29_ignores_font. > > No content in that URL. Uh? It works for me, the "." goes with the URL. You can navigate from http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Submitted_patches if you prefer. Maybe the page should just be moved to a dot less name. > FWIW, currently the Debian package uses Pango and no one has complained > about font handling. > Is anyone still using sawfish and *unable* to use pango?

I guess people just accepted the limitation and / or keep on with their xlfd fonts (and you have to avoid counting those that just use one font for everything, all titles, cycle dialogs, etc). I know I tried to move to all pango, hit the issue, and went back to all xlfd except one font. :] GSR
