Anyway, I put a screenshot in http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/junk/dustimo.png I had not turned on antialiasing, which is probably responsible for low quality of displayed glyphs (in particular, notice glyphs for l,z,n). For comparision, see http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/junk/lynx.png which is the same page rendered in lynx/xterm, using default fixed width misc-fixed-* X11 fonts. The reason why I am so interested in missing glyphs is that there was a discussion on debian-devel recently about lack of free high quality variable width font. Dustimo could become base of such a font, if it covered at least MES-2 repertoire (maybe without Georgian and Armenian characters for the beginning). Adding CJK characters would require much greater effort. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garabik http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
