Kieth (sic) cuts the Gordian knot. http://www.linuxprinting.org/summit.html ... Kieth Packard of the XFree86 project offered a presentation on fonts. The problems are many, but essentially, you need all the same fonts, or a good substitution, available in all of: PDF Applications Display Printer Web Kieth instantly solved one facet of the problem by asserting that the X server will in the future no longer handle fonts itself - ie, end of problem. Instead, the application will handle fonts, and send selected glyphs up to the server. The overhead is evidently minor for western languages, and it's a wash for Asian languages. Since this eliminated the age-old problem of X fonts being unavailable on particular servers, no one had any particular objection. As always in X, client library APIs will be extended and compatibility code written, so the world should really be a better place for this change. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
