Yes, there are a few ways to create fonts. But first of all you should know what kind of fonts they'll be. AFAIK we don't have any editors for TrueType fonts, only for bdf fonts. I use xmbdfed, and it's pretty much enough for me. If you have installed an x font server that's capable of loading ttf then you can use xmbdfed's "import server font" facility to edit TrueType fonts, but you have to save it as bdf format. If you want, you can then convert it to various formats using tools like bfdtopcf, etc. On the other hand, if you want to edit TrueType fonts directly, you need Windows. There are a plenty of ttf editors for that os, both shareware and public domain. You can find more about xmbdfed at its homepage: http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/xmbdfed.html Hope this info helps you. -- dirt Charlie Big Potato

Re: List rules (Re: Negligencias medicas)
I would like to not get auto responses when you answer a list question. That would take the thoughtfulness of the list subscribers though, wouldn't it? Nick Lamb wrote: Guillermo S.

I like the idea of semi-moderated (non subscribers are moderated) lists but I don't have time to volunteer, so if no-one else likes that idea or XCF can't provide it, put me down for "subscribers only" too.

Re: Dual processor
I am planning a upgrade of my machine, so I am trying to find out, if I can have any advantage of a dual processor system, because it actually is cheaper with a dual Celleron 500 MHz as a 700 MHz Athlon/AMD or PIII, and I have 256 Mb PC100 RAM, which will be to slow for these machines! If it is good quality RAM, it is not slow, I have a K7 700 with bus at 100 MHz (old MoBo) and runs fine, better than P3 with 133 bus. About cheaper, I would have to check, 700 price is going down, it was down when I got mine, so now... I have read the FAQ's on the Gimp homepage, but I can't find any thing about support for multiple processors - does anybody know if the Gimp support dual/multi processors? One thing is true, if the OS can handle multiple CPUs, you can run multiple process at same time. So if Gimp requests a X thing and then keeps working at its own things, both will be done at the same time. Or if your machine is multiuser (I have some that do that), or like to compile in background, SMP is also good. IIRC there was some notes somewhere about optimizng for SMP, so maybe some tasks can use two processors. Plugins run as separate processes, that is sure, so you can run two full speed things at same time (different images). You could check the source or CVS for info (look for changelog files). GSR
