: Hmm.. Thanks. Does your mentioning TrueType fonts only mean that BDF fonts
(if
: I remember correctly, these are supported) cannot be used for such a text?
I can't remember if I answered you yet or not. Currently, the Microwindows
builtin fonts use a byte-sized index, making BDF fonts unsuitable. However,
this would be very easy to change. The reason it hasn't yet is that the
index table per builtin font would be quite large, and we're trying to keep the
size
of the builtin fonts down... Take a stab at adding it if you want the feature.
