But since lyx-qt Now see if you can work out how to ask for each of the individual fonts, since they have the same name. Look at the Qt API and how it requests fonts. Spend some time reading the Qt font loader source in detail. Then try it on several Qt versions from different distributions (several Red Hat versions behave differently). Try it under different locales. Try Qt versions with/without ft support (different versions of 3.x behave differently). Finally, try loading all symbols and check that they are all a) visible b) displayed using correct metrics c) correct glyph for every symbol Let me put it this way: if it can work, then the several days I've spent hacking this stuff over the years isn't yet enough. regards john -- "Spammers get STABBED by GOD." - Ron Echeverri
