- I'm looking at page 699 of RKM Libraries 3rd Ed., which displays the
- definition of the struct DiskFontHeader, and trying to figure out the
- intended purpose of:
-
- /* used only if dfh_TF.tf_Style FSB_TAGGED bit is set */
- #define dfh_Taglist dfh_Segment /* destroyed during loading */
-
- When does this field point to the segment, and when to the taglist? Am I,
- as a font creator, supposed to be able to use this field to include a
- taglist in the load file, or does taglist information reside solely in the
- .font file? If it's only in the .font file, won't FixFonts destroy it?
-
- The bottom line concern here is: Can I specify a taglist in the load file?
- If so, how?
-
- And as long as I'm asking questions about fonts...
-
- On page 697, in the description of the struct ColorTextFont, it seems to
- suggest, but doesn't come right out and state, that the CT_COLORFONT
- flag is used to indicate whether ctf_ColorFontColors actually points to
- anything. Is this an accurate interpretation?
-
- If anyone is able to answer these questions, then please tell me where
- you got your info. I had assumed that the RKMs would be the last word,
- but even they don't seem to be entirely explicit in some places.
-
- Thanks much!
