 This is correct.


How exactly I should be opening/using/drawing the font properly?

I've tried with XFT_CHAR_WIDTH and XFT_CHAR_HEIGHT but that doesn't help 
either.

The font is supposed to be 6x13, would 13x13 be incorrect and that's why it 
can't draw it properly?


Thanks again.

 Please check the FT_Bitmap_Size structure.  It has two components, the
 size in the X direction and the size in the Y direction.
 
 You should walk the available_bitmaps array of the FT_Face structure
 and make sure that the size you requested is available.  I believe
 that doing that should be under the responsibility of fontconfig.

In this particular to that 6x13 fonts, I have:

num_fixed_sizes = 1
available_sizes-height = 13
available_sizes-width = 13

Does this sound right at all?

You've mentioned fontconfig. Should I be using that to make life easier (cos 
I'm not using that lib for the moment)?

[Fonts]Problems with Xft and pcf/bdf fonts...

[Pigeon]

Hi,

I've been trying to use pcf/bdf fonts with Xft. I was testing with a pcf font 
included with X.

From my ~/.xftcache the font looks like this:

/home/pigeon/xft/6x13.pcf 0 1037180276 
Fixed:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=100:pixelsize=13:encoding=iso10646-1,iso8859-1,glyphs-fontspecific:core=False:index=0:outline=False:scalable=False


I've been using both XftFontOpen and XftFontOpenName to open the font and it 
did open it and returning me something. I tried to print out some of the information 
from the XftFont.

xftfont = XftFontOpen(display, DefaultScreen(display),
XFT_FAMILY, XftTypeString, Fixed,
XFT_STYLE, XftTypeString, Regular,
XFT_SLANT, XftTypeInteger, 0,
XFT_WEIGHT, XftTypeInteger, 100,
XFT_PIXEL_SIZE, XftTypeDouble, 13.0,
XFT_CORE, XftTypeBool, 0,
XFT_INDEX, XftTypeInteger, 0,
XFT_OUTLINE, XftTypeBool, 0,
XFT_SCALE, XftTypeBool, 0,
0);

or

xftfont = XftFontOpenName(display, DefaultScreen(display), Fixed-8);


the output was:

xftfont-ascent 11
xftfont-descent 2
xftfont-height 13
xftfont-max_advance_width 6

which looks ok to me.

However, XftDrawString8 and XftDrawStringUtf8 are not drawing anything. But  
after changing my code to open a ttf font, with the very same drawing code, it worked 
properly. (So I guess my drawing code is correct?)

Any idea or direction?

Thanks a lot.

 P Do you mean the XFT_PIXEL_SIZE? I just did a quick try of of
 P loading from size 1 to 50 but it didn't help either.
 
 Worse than that.  The pixel size must match in both the X and the Y
 direction.  (FreeType and, to a certain extent, X11 support non-square
 pixels).

Hmm so what exactly I can try in this particular case?

I'm fairly new to all these font business.

Thanks.
