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
