This may be possible... I am not an Xft expert but AFAIK the font naming conventions between Xft and XLFD differ a lot... I've CC:'ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] who wrote recently a patch for Mozilla's PostScript module which solved similar issues... jshin: Would it be possible to write a similar patch (AFAIK the Xft/PS one was http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219060 ("Freetype printing does not work for Xft build")) for the GTK+/Xlib gfx code in Mozilla (e.g. that font prefs from Xft-based Mozilla will work for normal XLFD-based Mozilla's, too) ? ---- Bye, Roland. -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 2426 901568 FAX +49 2426 901569 (;O/ \/ \O;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
