 I think this is the right approach.

But it is not convenient for people who want to buy or download some ttf
for using them under X. This is why I would like to have a common tool -
something like 'mkfontdir'.

 whatever value users of such encodings find best.
 
 Please take your time, experiment with various values, and then feel
 free to suggest the tightest value you feel happy with.

I think '-f 3' is a not bad choice. But I don't do a well test because
I don't have many ttf on my system. :)

 RG Should we use another way to set spacing value?
 
 I don't see any.  The macBits field in head doesn't specify spacing,
 and the Panose field in the os2 table is usually unreliable.

Why? Could you please show me some examples? Thanks!

Re: [Fonts]New versions of mkfontscale and FreeType 2 backend

[Rui-Xiang Guo]

 It seems the problem of FT_Get_Char_Index() in checkEncoding().

Hi, I just do the quick testing work with this:

then I get another fonts.scale file:

What't the secret in get_index()? X-)

 2) After I add those two lines by hand, I still have to edit the fonts.alias
 file for running rxvt. The sample for 16 pixel fonts is:
...
The other two GB encoding fonts also need it.
Maybe we need a script to generate it.

 3) Besides that, I need to fix the spacing value 'p' to 'c' because the
 value 'p' will cause delay in several seconds when start-up rxvt.
...
The other two GB encoding fonts also get the same situation...
