Re: [Fonts]A problem on using fonttootf problem
JL I have recently trying to use the fonttootf to convert a bdf JL font into otf. Please note that fonttotf is in an early alpha stage; it is not meant to be useful right now. I suggest that you should use pfaedit rather than fonttootf for the time being. JL First, the bdf font is encoding in Big5 (to be exact the JL encoding should be Big5-HKSCS). The current version of fonttootf requires Unicode-encoded fonts. Being able to use fonts in legacy encodings is a planned feature for future versions. JL I use gdb to take a look and found that, the cause is the JL absent of a 'FAMILY_NAME' so freetype just set the JL face-family_name to 0 and the when full_name = JL malloc(strlen(face-family_name) + 1); occurs inside read.c:81 JL of the fontofotf, it bombs. Noted, thanks for the report. Juliusz ___ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
[Fonts]Xft acceleration
Hello, I have found a problem with X and really fast scrolling terminal windows(named gnome-terminal from Gnome2) using Xft to render fonts. It will cause the mouse cursor to repeatedly freeze for a second as long as it's scrolling fast. I have been told this is caused by lack of Xft acceleration in video drivers. Is anyone working on this, planning to work on this, or could be convinced to work on this? It is a quite annoying problem and the only workaround I have found is to renice terminal windows to 3. P.S. I am not a member of the mailing list, so reply to the list and me directly, please. ___ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
