Hi,

Thanks for your patience!

Every time I utter a plea for help, I hit the send button and then realise
there is a number of easy ways to do things, and I immediately feel stupid
for asking and cluttering up everyone's bandwidth...

Sorry.

Yes.

I understand that, having worked with X a fair bit, and images in
particular, most recently with implementing Gtk type themes capabilty for
Motif.

Which is what I want to do.

I need to be able to have the font's bitmap compiled into the executable so
that I can reduce the number of files needed.  This is for the KVM Sun Java
2ME  enviroment, so it will also have a number of class files linked in with
it too.

This is how I saw it working with window decoration bitmaps used in nanowm,
so I thought my situation was similar.

It is a "less is more"  type of thing.

I will let you know how it goes,

Thanks for getting back to me so quick,

Rob
