- Any of you having VAXen running DECwindows/Motif, you have access to a few
- extra Display PostScript fonts in the directory SYS$SYSCOMMON:[SYSFONT.XDPS.OUTLINE]
- Just copy them into /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base, renaming them sensibly,
- and you now have AvantGarde, LubalinGraph, NewCenturySchlbk and Souvenir.
- Try them with /usr/demos/bin/fontview
-
- Question.
-
- How can I use these fonts !
-
- 1. for the X server - to give me scaleable fonts. Perhaps too much to ask ?
-
- 2. in Showcase - I thought this would give me more fonts, but it seems
- that Showcase dosn't use X or display postscript fonts.
-
- Otherwise, are they of any use other than for Xpsview ??
