Okay. I'm trying to use a scalable font in the window title, by defining
it
with the Style command in the config. I'm okay to use a 100 DPI font such
as "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-20-*" but I am not okay to use a font
such as "-urw-urw bookman l-regular-r-normal-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" which is
a
scalable font. However, I'm able to use this font for my menus with the
MenuStyle command in my config.
If I type into FvwmConsole the Style command, I am told:
[FVWM][CMD_Style]:
<<ERROR>> Bad style option: "<font string here>"
If I type into FvwmConsole a similar MenuStyle command with the same font
string, it is accepted and used.
Also, and this may be an X server issue instead, if I attempt to use a
19-point helvetica instead of 20-point, it will fall back to the 'fixed'
font, even though (as far as I can tell) I have a scalable version of
helvetica installed. If I specify 19-point urw bookman l, I get 19 point.
