hi all,
I've added a builtin font to nanox by sticking a .bdf file into fonts/,
with all the others, and including it in the build process. I'm now
attempting to get flnx to use it, without success so far. Just for
testing, i've hacked fl_draw(), and changed the GrSetGCFont() call to
GrSetGCFont(fl_gc, GcCreatreFont((GR_CHAR *)"myfont", 16, NULL)), and am
using the "fonts" test built in the test directory to try and change to
my font (the fact that i haven't added it to built_in_table[] should not
matter since i've made fl_draw() select my font every time).
So far, i'm not having a lot of luck (i.e. the characters printed out by
'fonts' don't look like i think they should). I'm using flnx-0.15 and
microwin-0.89pre6 compiled to run under X. Can anyone offer me
suggestions as to whether what i'm doing should work, and what i might
be doing wrong? Should i use .ttf fonts instead? (i'd prefer not to for
what i'm doing).
Cheers,
Dunk
