I'm porting an application running on Sun 3's from SunCGI to X. The program currently takes advantage of CGI's ability to scale fonts. From the articles referred to above, and from reading the Xlib manual, I gather that scalable fonts aren't available in the current MIT X distribution. Did I get this right, or am I missing something ? As usual, any info will be greatly appreciated. - Johannes
