: Does GrCreateFont() work with .89?
Yes, but there are bugs
:
: I have tried to use:
: font_a = GrCreateFont ("/usr/local/fonts/helvB24-ISO8859-1.pcf",
: 15,NULL);
:
: and it uses the default system font. I tried the second variable from 0
: to 25. No go. Hell, I can even put a wrong font file name and it runs
: exactly the and NEVER complains that the file didn't exist.
Read the ChangeLog from CVS regarding PCF, there were a number
of bugs fixed after 0.90 release also, available only from CVS.
:
: Now, under .90, it will complain about not finding 15, but it will use
: the font instead of the system font, and if the file name is wrong, it
: complains about not finding the file.
Certain semantics were changed for the better in 0.90, and, depending
on the settings for DPRINTF and EPRINTF, engine/devfont.c will
tell you what is going on WRT the different font handlers.
: How do I get it to work under .89?
Diff engine/devfont.c and engine/font_pcf.c for changes, check the
ChangeLog also.

Greg
