I think defaulting to respectively microsoft-win3.1 for TTF and adobe-fontspecific for postscript will allow transparent use of any exotic encoding. Of course if it takes too much effort to do it just forget about it; but if it is simple to do I think those defaults are better, because they *are* the defaults used by a lot of fonts out there. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975 _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
