hmm really?I well...I never even thought to try that! I will look into it....tho yea thats probably going to turn out to be an upstream issue.... The source code for xfstt is not...um...heavilly commented (im being polite :) when I showed the code to a co-worker he noted the lack of comments and asked if the author was russian) In fact I added a signal handler to the program as part of the code to handle making a pid file (so it will start on startup easily et al)...I think between 20 lines of code or so, I have as amny comments as the whole rest of the file -I try to comment liberally but not too much) in any case...I will look into it...I never even thought to try using a truetype font for fixed text...it seems kind of twisted to me (sort of "Why would you wanna go there?") -Steve > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Part 1.2 Type: application/pgp-signature -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." -- H.
