Questions about fonts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I would like to improve my knowledge about fonts in Linux.
Can some one point me to a document/web site/book that will help me in
that. A few questions which I'm asking myself appear below my signature.

Thanks,
Yuval Scharf

Should I use a font server or not?
what are my options?

How do the
"-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso8859-10"
notion used by xfontsel and the Helvetica(10) notion used by applications
relate?

How does an application knows which fonts are installed?
How can I monitor which fonts the application asks for and what response
does it get from X server?

How fonts and encodings relate to each other?

What tools can I use to monitor fonts staff?
