About those bolds.. It seems using the ":bold" suffix isn't reliable, i.e. at least here using "monospace:bold" and calling FcFontSort returns non-monospace fonts ahead of the wanted monospace fonts. Using this it works correctly, though, and the bold monospace font is returned first: FcPatternAddInteger(fc_pattern, FC_WEIGHT, FC_WEIGHT_BOLD) -- Anssi Hannula _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
