Katz (Xpert)) Newsgroups: comp.windows.x Subject: Text Direction Message-ID: Date: 16 May 91 08:03:07 GMT Sender: amir@pilat.Silvaco.Com Distribution: comp Organization: Silvaco Israel Ltd. Lines: 21 I fuzzily recall seeing something about font direction (right-to-left or left-to-right) in some .bdf files. The BDF.PS document in X11R4/hardcopy/BDF does not mention it. 1. Is there such a property for a font? 2. If so, does anyone use it? And the clinchers: 3. Is it possible to write text in a direction other than left-to-right? 4. If not, how does Kanji X work? Please e-mail to me and I'll summarize if there is anough interest. -- Amir J.
