Hi, I've been trying to use pcf/bdf fonts with Xft. I was testing with a pcf font included with X.
From my ~/.xftcache the font looks like this: "/home/pigeon/xft/6x13.pcf" 0 1037180276 "Fixed:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=100:pixelsize=13:encoding=iso10646-1,iso8859-1,glyphs-fontspecific:core=False:index=0:outline=False:scalable=False" I've been using both XftFontOpen and XftFontOpenName to open the font and it did open it and returning me something. I tried to print out some of the information from the XftFont. xftfont = XftFontOpen(display, DefaultScreen(display), XFT_FAMILY, XftTypeString, "Fixed", XFT_STYLE, XftTypeString, "Regular", XFT_SLANT, XftTypeInteger, 0, XFT_WEIGHT, XftTypeInteger, 100, XFT_PIXEL_SIZE, XftTypeDouble, 13.0, XFT_CORE, XftTypeBool, 0, XFT_INDEX, XftTypeInteger, 0, XFT_OUTLINE, XftTypeBool, 0, XFT_SCALE, XftTypeBool, 0, 0); or xftfont = XftFontOpenName(display, DefaultScreen(display), "Fixed-8"); the output was: xftfont->ascent 11 xftfont->descent 2 xftfont->height 13 xftfont->max_advance_width 6 which looks ok to me. However, XftDrawString8 and XftDrawStringUtf8 are not drawing anything. But after changing my code to open a ttf font, with the very same drawing code, it worked properly. (So I guess my drawing code is correct?) Any idea or direction? Thanks a lot.
