I am using Red Hat 8.0 so the program version are with respect to those distributed by Red Hat.
I have been playing with ttmkfdir and mkfontscale and the Microsoft webfonts and I noticed some differences. If I run mkfontscale against a directory with the webfonts, I get 411 fonts listed. However, if I run ttmkfdir, I get 398 fonts listed. Now ttmkfdir has a -m (--max-missing) command line parameter which is described as "max # of missing characters per encoding, default is 5". If I run "-m 0", I get 323 fonts listed and with "-m 100" I get 466 fonts listed. I am not sure what is correct, good, bad, or what. Any comments? If "max-missing" is a good idea, should it be incorporated into mkfontscale? Obviously (at least to me), mkfontscale must be doing some allowance for missing characters since it lists a number of fonts greater than 323. While I am talking about these two programs, I do prefer the way ttmkfdir creates its output better than mkfontscale -- mkfontscale creates the font.scale file in the directory it is scanning whereas ttmkfdir outputs to stdout which can be redirected via the -o (--output) command line parameter. -- -- Gene Czarcinski _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
