Message-ID: <8809221634.AA01078@ATHENA.MIT.EDU> Date: 22 Sep 88 14:58:00 GMT Sender: daemon@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 26 I have been using X11r2. I ran into some problems for which I couldn't find solutions with my knowledge of X11. I would appreciate any kind of help that I can get. My mailing address is kadakia%boston.sdr.slb.com@relay.cs.net 1st problem : Given text size, is there any way for a portable program to get list of all fixed width fonts of the given text size without loading all of the available fonts and checking their sizes? 2nd problem : Is there a standard set of fonts which will be available on all xlib and server implementation? 3rd problem : If a given workstation supports only one hardware font, how will server support multiple fonts? Does the server stroke out fonts that are not supported by a given workstation? Thanks to all in advance. - Smit
