- I am working on an IBM RS-6000 developing an application in GL and
- X windows. I need to make my own named Xwindows font, that I can
- load into the GL system with the gl call loadXfont. This takes the
- same name that an Xloadfont call would take for an exisiting font.
- The O'Reilly books tell me a lot about how to load a font and how to
- use it once it is loaded but they don't tell me how to create my own
- font. Is there a way to save a font or create a named font that I
- could call from the loadXfont call??
-
- If you have a responce please email me.
- thanks
