Cool, that worked using
font_a = GrCreateFont
("/usr/X11/lib/fonts/75dpi/helvB18-ISO8859-15.pcf.gz",
18,NULL);
But, I didn't see in the api html or .pdf docs anything about
GrCreateFont excepting a font file name. They only state ASCII string of
a built in font face. I assumed that by built in it meant compiled in at
nano-X build time. My mistake.
Thank You again.
