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? _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
