If it makes you guys feel any better, I didn't actually want this for every italic font, just those that I am doing BCI full hinting on (mainly MS ones). Otherwise the stems on letters look like a field of grass waving in the wind. So, I'm simply doing glyph abuse to fix glyph abuse! After posting, I played around a bit more and got the below code to work, but I wasn't able to figure out how to insert multiple fonts within this code; it had to be duplicated for every font. Keith's solution is more elegant and lets me put multiple fonts in the code. Thanks for the help! <selectfont> <rejectfont> <pattern> <patelt name="family" > <string>Courier New</string> </patelt> <patelt name="slant" > <const>italic</const> </patelt> </pattern> </rejectfont> </selectfont> _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
