Hi Jeff,
How to configure flnx to support different fonts, like generic, T1, TTF,
HZKFONT, etc?
I'd like to use fltk running on nano-x on Assabet board. Now, I successfully
port Microwindows 0.89pre3 on my platform.
I can display different font type/size including T1LIB, Free Type, HZKFONT
Chinese characters, etc. under Microwinodws.
However, I cannot change the font type or font size on my application written by
flnx and even cannot run the demo program - fonts under subdirectory flnx/test/
.
The demo program - fonts cannot work even I try several combination.
(1) I copy all *.ttf file to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/ and run
I got the following error (but I am sure the files are existed in the correct
directory)
hifi:~/microwindows/flnx/test # /fonts
t1lib_createfont: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/arial.ttf,16 not found
t1lib_createfont: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/timesb.ttf,16 not found
(2) use generic fonts
I definitely use the second part of font table by using XX_NANO_X macro to
unselect the first part in file fl_font.cxx (as shown below)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

};
#endif
Unluckily, I got the following error.
hifi:~/microwindows/flnx/test # ./fonts
t1lib_createfont:
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*,16 not foundt1lib_createfont:
-*-times-bold-r-normal--*,16 not found
Actually, I have no files something like -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--* . Is
it a build-in fonts? Else, where can I get the fonts file?
(3) using T1LIB
I copy the FoneDataBase file to the flnx/test and modify the path accordingly
(FREETYPE_FONT_DIR=/usr/local/microwin/fonts)
No run time errors.
Unluckily, I also cannot change the font type or size as I wish.
The questions is that what am I doing wrong?
Is there any environment variables I have to define? In fact, I do change the
font type or size in Mircowindows.
By the way, where can I get more fonts?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Hifi Wong.
