Transcoding BDF fonts is not rocket science; if you want fontconfig to know what codepoints are covered by a font, you'll just need to present it with some way to get correct Unicode encoding tables for the font. The problem here is not in fontconfig, but (maybe) Freetype which is missing any kind of support for non-Unicode (or Latin-1) encodings for BDF fonts. As BDF fonts have so many other troubles, it's not exactly encouraging anyone to go try to fix this; I'm pushing to eliminate BDF/PCF fonts and replace them with bitmap glyphs encoded in true type files (SFNT), which seems better in all ways to me. -keith -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
