If the font doesn't appear in the available list, it most likely is not supported by the GTK+ stack (I think Pango is responsible for interfacing with fonts, but it could be Fontconfig). Most font types supported by Windows are also supported by GTK+, but there are a few that are not (either because the font is malformed or it falls in some category that isn't handled). There probably isn't anything you can do apart from debugging what it is about the font that makes it not available and filing a bug (or even better, a patch) to the upstream component that is responsible. -D _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
