Re: Problem with fonts under NT

I am using Xemacs 21.0.67 under NT, and had a problem using my favourite fonts

I traced this to 2 problems in objects-msw.c:
[snip]
The intention of line 985 seems to be to select the default
charset (the
first in charset_map) for the font. I think line 985 should be:
985 strcat (fontname, charset_map[0].name);
i.e. it should add the default charset to the end of the font name, as per
line 981.
Yep. Thanks. I'll incorporate your fix into a patch that I'm putting
together.
2. The default charset - i.e. the first in charset_map - is
"Western", which
maps to a logfont.lfCharSet of ANSI_CHARSET.
Thus, if I use a font like 6x13 that doesn't have a matching lfCharSet in
charset_map, it gets a default charset of "Western". Later, when
mswindows_initialize_font_instance() looks up the "Western" in
charset_map,
it sets lfCharSet of ANSI_CHARSET. The result is that NT looks for the
6x13 font in the ANSI charset, and can't find it.
If, however, you use lfCharSet = DEFAULT_CHARSET, NT looks in all charsets,
and finds it.

The intention of the code is to unambiguously identify the available
fonts, so I'm not very keen on your solution. I've not come across a
font before that didn't have one of the charsets out of charset_map.
Would you mail me the font so that I can try to come up with an
alternative solution? Does this font ship as a Windows font with
Reflection X or did you convert it to a Windows font?
