I don't push it else I would put Unicode and I would write it in polytonic (multi-accented kinda like French) and that would be even more interesting... In reality up to the Alexandrian (or Hellenestic Era) Greek was written all caps... the lowercase and accent/stress marks were introduced so that barbarians (not my term) could read and write it -That was keeping in line with the saying: Greek is the one participating in Greek education- so there you have it... The Thu is not translated actually :-) Days in Greek are feminine and that's the translation for On (in its feminine form of course) ' of course means wrote...

Re: Re: [ql-users] Proforma Filter, monospace font
Is there an easy way of finding out what characters a font supports?? You could try 'ProWesS Fonts Utilities'. Or for those using only Proforma, not ProWesS, the older SHOWPFF or whatever the font viewing utility was called (supplied with pre-ProWesS Line Designs) Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Don't think it ever got that far, but I do think it was a monospaced font. Complete, yes. However, what one wants probably isn't just a font but four fonts (normal, bold, italic, bold+italic) which are grouped into a fontpack. (else how do you produce , e.g., bold letters?) IIRC, the builtin cimplete font is only normal, isn't it? Hence the courier (which exists as four fonts) Wolfgang www.scp-paulet-lenerz.com ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Hence the courier (which exists as four fonts) I think I have adapted a proper monospace font (IIRC it wasn't Courier -which I BTW despise with a passion- but a full (Unicode) version of Bitrstream Monospace 821) using Joachim's modified PFB2PFF converter... which I am not sure I have anymore... However time permitting I could either dig it out or whip up another one for inclusion :-) (The problem with PFB2PFF remains though... I will have to see if I have the newest version that can deal with Unicode PFBs or the older one that I originally bought) Phoebus () - I want to see who can decode this one :-) ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
