There's the limitation -- pango doesn't expose the varients in any extensible fashion, it has only two variables (weight/slant) and a limited number of values for each one (2 each?). Pango should, in addtion, provide a list of style names for each family for applications which want to select by name. As many TrueType fonts provide extensive localization for these style names, it's not even a terrible localization problem. Owen just needs more people complaining so that he'll figure out how to provide a more comprehensive style solution. -keith -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
