- p>I have a problem with the VDI routine 'load fonts'. Does the
- p>workstation handle have to be a physical or a virtual one?
-
- Generally spoken, use the handle of the workstation you want to use the fonts
- on. For the screen, it's a virtual one, for other devices, it's physical.
-
- p>And, if it may be a virtual handle, do I need to load the fonts
- p>for every new virtual workstation or is one time enough?
-
- You have to load them for every workstation, since resolutions will differ on
- different devices.
- p>
- p>How many virtual workstations are possible? Fixed number or not?
-
- No docs on this topic... You can open workstations as long as v_opnvwk()
- doesn't return an error condition :-)
