The next thing I need to do is support font-preference-by- character-set (Mule charset, FC language, FC charset, query font for character set, probably in that order). Do you get warnings, or just little boxes in the display? Aidan> Stephen, I’m getting font names treated as Latin 1 where, Aidan> I believe, they should be treated as UTF-8. Damned if I know. Let's add the freetype and Xft manuals to the general-docs package. Aidan> Actually, after a little experimentation with Xft, perhaps Aidan> the font names should be in Latin 1. X11's XLFD standard specifies that font names are in Latin 1, less the wildcards (* and ?). Ie, control characters are not legal. I wouldn't be surprised if Xft has chosen to inherit that restriction to avoid frightening the server, which _will_ typically end up having to (try to) parse FC font names (even though it typically won't find them). -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
