I still have not fully understood, what exactly is in place and how well does it work in X11R6. For example xfd -fn '-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-*-75-75-C-*-ISO10646-1[0_0xff]' works (and returns just the Latin-1 part of the Unicode font) but then xfd -fn '-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1[0_0xff]' does *NOT* work and returns (when no bdftruncate is used) the full >700 kilobyte large XFontStruct that we fear so much. What is going on here? I suspect nothing has actually changed since I did my tests a few years ago, it is just that Juliusz's example XLFDs contained wildcards at the right place, whereas I always used the full XLFD as it stands in the BDF file. What difference does that make in the font mechanics of the X server? This is getting stranger and stranger and before we start to rely on the subsetting, I strongly suggest that someone looks into what exactly of it works to properly get it documented first. Or eliminate what might just be a bug, namely that subsetting only works with enough wildcards. Markus -- Markus G.
