- What is the story on the swiss fonts used by HP VUE? The sys.resources
- file contains lines like:
-
- *FontList: -*-swiss 742-bold-r-normal-*-140-*-p-100-*
- *systemFont: -*-swiss 742-bold-r-normal-*-140-*-p-100-*
-
- Are these HP proprietary fonts? If not, can the BDF sources be obtained
- from some Internet site?
- The reason I ask is because we are trying to get some
- X terminal emulators to work on Macs (MacX) and PCs and there is a persistent
- complaint from them about these swiss fonts being unknown.
