Fair enough, but the question Keith answered and the direction he gave me were with respect to my original goal which was to be able to choose which font I saw as "Fixed" in gnome-terminal. Now as I followed up, ideally I could "invent" new fonts (being aliases to existing fonts) that would appear in the gnome font selection dialog, but for my purposes here, overriding "Fixed" with a specific font is a satisfactory short term solution. > 2) What is style "Regular"?

I don't know much about the details of the original XLFD specification. > 3) If you, Brian, make up an alias family name for a font which > could otherwise be very easily described in a standard way, > then others will do the same, and bunches of people will have > different pet names for what used to be a standardly-aliased > font. Fair enough, which is why I asked about being able to define a new font/alias which I called "My Fixed Font" to describe the specific XLFD font I wanted to use. > No one has commented on my patches, which introduce a standard > way to handle attributes which occur in known fonts but are not > otherwise as easily classified, e.g., as "weight" or "slant", or are > not otherwise uniformly classified across font-handling applications. I am most likely the least qualified to do so, so I will just hold my tongue. b. --=20 My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J.
