Hi,
I tried googling a bit for bitmap proportional fonts and wasn't too lucky.
So I have no idea beyond the fonts included with X (and I can't say I like
those very much).
I am offering to contribute my own fonts. I created two fonts sans8 and sans
8b (covering ASCII + Czech characters), but those are designed to be used at
low resolution (e.g. 320x200). I could create a font family for HelenOS, the
only limitation is that I don't feel confident to do non-latin scripts
(except Greek).
Cheers,
Jiri

"Hi folks,
I've implemented rendering of proportional fonts and loading of
portable compiled format (.pcf) font files (currently supports unicode
fonts, i.e. those labeled iso10646-1). You can try this by running
fontviewer comp:0/winreg /path/to/file.pcf
Use arrow up/down to resize the font (shift+arrow advances by ten
instead of one). Admittedly, fontviewer is very basic app and needs
additional work.
So I now have a question for you - which fonts do we want to include in
HelenOS mainline? Any suggestions?
I guess we could use a font family with proportional width
characters which includes several font sizes, bold, italic etc.
And of course it needs to have a compatible license.
Regards,
Martin
