For 10646, PCF is a really bad idea -- it uses an uncompressed array for the codepoint->glyph mapping table, which means you cannot spread glyphs across the unicode range without exploding file sizes. Even for Latin-1, using TTF is a win as we can ship all of the bitmap sizes in a single file, saving significant space and effort. Fewer files, less disk space, better i18n support, better performance. There is no downside here, only a bit of code to ensure all of the legacy XLFD properties are translated appropriately. -keith -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
