(I know it's not easy to find - took me a while to find it when I was looking for references to add to the man pages of the X programs that use Xft, which is why I sprinkled it around those, to make it easier for users: Xdm can be compiled with support for the Xft(3) library for font rendering. If this support is present, font faces are specified using the resources with names ending in ``face'' in the fontconfig face format described in the Font Names section of fonts.conf(4). If not, then fonts are specified using the resources with names ending in ``font'' in the traditional X Logical Font Description format described in the Font Names section of X(5). Those are the Solaris/SysV section references - should be fonts.conf(5) on BSD/Linux I think.) -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith@xxxxxxx Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
