These cannot be consider finalised. In the meantime I was working on
vtwm in porting some of these twm enhancements to vtwm. (In particular
vtwm got a better infowindow spacing which I want to bring back to twm,
among a few other things.) Then, SloppyFocus is getting into a good
shape
Marc Aurele La France:
At first, I really liked this idea, but I now realize that, because your
spacing changes (as I have them integrated) are only effective for Xft
fonts, Xft'ing bitmap fonts would change twm's default behaviour. Thus,
I'd rather not call XftFontOpenXlfd(), which leaves

(I always considered the significantly simpler approach being enough:
the user in enabling TWM_USE_XFT voluntarily passes the point of no
return; if xft-font problems arise, then these are to be solved.)
Well, that's the point. As you have it, the end user does _not_ in fact
decide on

As quick answer, I'd take two good ideas from you suggestion instantly:

available;
(2) Use DefaultFont as a first fallback if requested font could not be

No. It is to test if it is a core font.

Hello,
in order to reach broader audience I'll post my recent twm activities
besides [EMAIL PROTECTED] here as well (assuming these
audiences do not 100% cover)... :-)
For twm users here are two patchsets introducing truetype font support
into twm in two steps.
