[ I recently tried to run X with only TTF-fonts enabled, wich means there was no: Adobe-Helvetica, Adobe-Times, Adobe-Courier nor -fixed-, etc... Almost every X-app broke, e.g. Acrobat Reader, Gnome-apps .... These apps are definitly broken, but as far as I see there's no easy way out, because there is not a single font garantueed to be available. Hence: ]
The following font-aliases MUST be available and be valid (i.e. point to an existing font): - "fixed": a monospaced font - "variable": a proportional font [ If the requested font is not available, an app should be able to fall back to "fixed" or "variable". ] The following font-families SHOULD be available: - Helvetica - Times - Courier [ This proposal might as well be nonsense, but if it were, could somebody please enlighten me :-) ] Regards, ben . de . rydt at pandora . be ------------------ your comments http://users.pandora.be/bdr/ ------- inl.
