So what you want this for is to write english text (or possibly another language that is usually written with roman letters), but you want the styling of the characters to use the type face "fraktur"? Then really, this is logically completely wrong. What you end up with is a sequence of mathematical symbols that is pure nonsense rather than the english sentence you thought you were writing. The choice of "fraktur" rather than "times", "courier" or "arial" should not change the representation of the text itself. Consider how painful it would be if every search on google would only give you results where the text was using the specific font you were searching with. (But I'm not an xorg developer. Maybe they can see a use for it.) eirik _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
