Marlett Replacement Useful for Wine?

[Robert Shearman]

Hi all,

I have several people interested in creating a 
replacement for the Marlett symbol font included in
Windows (used for drawing of window decorations and 
some widgets).
Would this be useful for inclusion in Wine?
If so, would just the TTF file be ok, or would you need
whatever propietary formatted file they will probably 
be working with (I think it will be some Adobe
product)?

There already is one,

We (TransGaming) created one called TGMarlett which we released under a 
BSD license. It should be floating around somewhere, and at least Huw 
(from Codeweavers) has it.

Perhaps I should send our version in for inclusion in winehq CVS?

I have both the .ttf and the .sfd - the native file format for the 
program I used.

Cheers

David

Indeed, and very good it is too - nice work!  The only question is
where are we going to put it?  Ideas welcome.

Huw.

Technically it's not a part of the GDI but short of a new directory
specifically for fonts, perhaps as a data file in dlls/gdi32 ?

This Marlett replacement sounds like it would be usefull for ReactOS also.
