Unfortuanately I don't think this patch should go straight in; XFT fonts
on CDE is going to need a bit of thought.
1) It always needs to be optional
a) Because XFT fonts are only available on openmotif 2.3 or later, but
CDE (should) compile against any 2.1.30 or newer.
b) Because of user-choices due to preference of the old fonts, e.g. due
to performance of non-XFT fonts over remote X connections.
2) It needs support for changing the font and size (probably in the
dtstyle UI)
- the patch currently hard-codes all fonts sizes (extra small through to
extra large) to 'Sans 10pt'
- Any UI for changing fonts needs to detect if the version of Motif under
it supports XFT.
We need to put some time into looking into this, and your patch makes a
good start.
