There are two separate font systems, the X11 core font system and the client-side system with Xft/fontconfig. What you get with xlsfonts/xfontsel is X11 core fonts. 'Terminal' in RedHat 9 uses the client-side font system (Xft/fontconfig based). You can make Miriam and other fonts available as X11 core fonts with freetype/Xtt/type1 backends if they're of a type supported by them. <http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/fonts.html> has all the gory details about XF86 font systems. For (After) X-TT, see http://x-tt.sourceforge.jp/ A lot of people believe that the client-side font system is the way to go (although the core font system will be around for a long time to come) so that you may consider writing your application with the client-side font system (especially, if I18N - internationalization - is important to your projects/programs). You may also want to take a look at http://fontconfig.org and http://www.pango.org Jungshik _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
