using font generator setvar(font groups, new font name)
I'm trying to determine if you have to create a font for each version and size of the font being used. Ie. Do I have to create seperate fonts for: Courier New, Bold, size 8 and Courier New, italics, size 8 or can I just create one for Courier New size 8 and it recognize it? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you. -Halina ...

font to use in another font
I have developed a font that I want to distribute and all of the characters I really care about are outside the normal Latin/English glyph range.

ClearType: Does Java AWT use its own font or use the OS's font in displaying text field?
Hi folks, I need to display some ClearType text in a static text field of a GUI window using Java AWT. I heard that Java 2D itself currently does not support ClearType sub-pixel technology. I am wondering if AWT can render font using OS's global font setting, for instance, on Windows XP, the ClearType font can be enabled globally, on Linux, it also has sub-pixel rendering technology can can be enabled OS wide. I am wondering if the Java AWT uses OS's font by default? Furthermore, what shall I do if I want to capture the RGB pixel values of the displayed text and save to harddisk? Th...

Font and Font CE
In many programs, installed fonts are appearing twice in the font menu, once as "font" and once as "font CE". What's the story behind this?

What's the story behind this? (OS > 10.2.8) You've enabled something about Central European input (perhaps a Polish or Estonian keyboard).

FONTS ? (name of default font using gplot cgmof97L ?)
Does anyone know the name of the default font please when using gplot with cgmof97L ? The default font only seems to be usable with single letter upper case characters. I can use other fonts such as zapf, or swiss or complex or simplex but it would be very helpful to know just which the default font is. The trouble is that the default font comes out best on my output, but for some tests I need more characters and so have to use another font for those and the difference between them is a bit problematic. If I knew the name of the default font I might be able to get a workaround. Thanks ...

Q.: Only one font in use, but 100 fonts embedded ... ?
The Subject line gives it in a nutshell -- my question(s) is (are) why? (and how to fix?) We've got a PDF containing the fully laid out, formatted pages of a book that uses one font (T.N.R.) in normal, bold, and italic, in several point-sizes. This PDF's Properties sheet shows about a hundred randomly-alphanumerically-named Type 1 embedded fonts. Why should that be? And is there anything we can do to reduce that number? The PDF is produced by Acrobat Distiller (v. 4.05) from a PS file itself obtained by printing a MS Word .DOC file to a PostScript printer "on FILE", wit...

CSS Fonts: Detect Font DPI use specific CSS

Problem: Page layout defined in CSS has font size issues (overlapping frames, text overflowing out of popup window, etc) on a windows systems using 120dpi fonts (large fonts), but everything looks perfect in 96dpi small fonts. My question is this, is there a way to detect system font size and select an appropriate CSS style for each case?

X11: how to find out whether font uses font-specific encoding?
Hi, I need to find out under X11 whether a given font (I have it's file path, too) uses font-specific encoding or not (standard encoding). "Symbol" fonts such as Webdings, Symbol or Dingbats use font-specific encoding. (I need this to know because when exporting to PDF I need to set "winansi" or "builtin" as parameter to the corresponding function). I found out about *.afm files which contain a line such as EncodingScheme FontSpecific which would indicate a "symbol" font. The problem is that on my Linux box all *.afm files which belong to the...

Using SHX fonts, compiled from PostScript fonts, in AutoCAD 2002
I've posted this question to AutoDesk's free discussion group and I thought I'd post more publicly for a second opinion. I recently purchased a new PostScript font for our office and want it to be available in AutoCAD on all computers. I ran the compiler to generate SHX fonts from my PFB fonts. Although the files are in my Fonts folder, they are not appearing in the MTEXT Character pulldown. They do appear in the STYLE dialog box, but I would like to have them in the mtext pulldown for the sake of consistency. I do not have corresponding TrueType versions of these fonts. Does anyone have any insight? I think the MTEXT dialog box only uses the true type fonts and if you set your style to shx it creates a proxy font.

What Font is used as the default LabView System and Dialog Font on a windows?
What font is used as the default LabView System and Dialog font on a Windows system? Can I use the default system and dialog font in another software (i.e; Win word or Illustrator etc.) For Windows XP, the font is Tahoma.

xterm: query font used after larger-vt-font() calls
I have used Debian for years, but decided to try Ubuntu on a new desktop to get more up to date packages. I got most things to where I like them, but there are still a few annoying issues. The current one is the xterm font. If I start the xterm with a "fixed" font and increase it a few times (by larger-vt-font() feature) I get the font I like. However, I cannot find what exactly font it is to add to my Fvwm menu, etc. and spending an hour with xfontsel did not help (too many variants). Is there a way to find out what is the current font the xterm uses (i.e. the font after larger-vt...

Using the fonts available in the Format>Font menu as part of Style[]?

Japanese fonts / font-conversion / saving Fonts in certain formats (on mac)
Hello, I today found out how to use input of japanese symbols on the Mac OS-X. It's nice and easy, but the TextEditor does not save in formats I'm looking for. Useful would be either UTF-8, or (what I'm looking for especially) SJS. The latter is a format that is used in Japan and pTeX also can read SJS-encoded japanese fonts. pTeX is a certain TeX-variant, that is used especially in japan. What I'm looking for is a program that either can be used to select japanese fonts from amenue and/or keyboard an save them in different font formats, or a program that can convert from one font-encoding to another encoding. The "convert" program (the user-cli-interface of ImageMagick can a lot, but is specialized on grapfical fileformats and can't convert fonts/texts. Is there such a converter program, or an editor that can be used? (There is a Program called JWPce, but it's only running on WinCE). Even a hint to convert one font into another (are there encoding tables?) maybe would help, if it is not toooo much effort to write a converter by myself.... ....but using a ready-to-use solution would be preferred. Any hint is welcome.
