Message-ID: Date: 28 Jan 91 13:31:51 GMT Sender: news@crdgw1.crd.ge.com Reply-To: montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com (Skip Montanaro) Followup-To: comp.windows.news Organization: GE Corporate Research & Development, Schenectady, NY Lines: 11 The X/NeWS server (OpenWindows) has many scalable fonts. If you ask for a font list, you get back the base name of the font, say zapfchancery- mediumitalic. How do you get a scaled rendition of that font from X applications? What's the font name (as far as X is concerned) for a 37-point zapfchancery-mediumitalic font? Thx, -- Skip (montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com)
