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.

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?

You've enabled something about Central European input (perhaps a Polish
or Estonian keyboard). The CE fonts are the ones that have easy mappings
for the characters that appear in those orthographies and not in the
various western/Roman alphabets (English, French, etc.).

I thought with the upcoming of Unicode there's one and only one font for
"all" script systems? So what's the deal? I've noticed that the fonts
concerned are all of the type ".dfont" and they appear twice only in
programs that have a "traditional" font menue.

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

CSS Fonts: Detect Font DPI use specific CSSHi All,
I've run into a bit of an interesting problem with CSS and font DPI and

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

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

which would indicate a "symbol" font. The problem is that on my Linux

Using SHX fonts, compiled from PostScript fonts, in AutoCAD 2002I'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.

xterm: query font used after larger-vt-font() callsI have used Debian for years, but decided to try Ubuntu on a

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

I am writing a chess program that could really make use of the Chess fonts.
However, it seems that these fonts can only be added on somewhat
superficially, by changing the font of already generated output. I don't see

into the Font menu.

I think you will find the caption package a great relief then. Be sure to

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.
Many Thanks,
Oliver
