This means that a Windows application + cannot just drop a .fon file in c:\Windows\Fonts and expect it to work like on + Windows. Instead the Wine user has to marshall the + font, copy it to the right X font server directory, restart the font server, + etc. in addition to that, currently if Wine is using FreeType it will not even + try to use X fonts so this .fon file will be ignored anyway. + So Wine's FreeType support should be extended to also support .fon files. + + Huw adds: + We have to have the apis GetGlyphOutline and GetOutlineTextMetrics return + something sensible. Actually maybe GetOutlineTextMetrics should just fail. Not + sure how hard it is to get the metrics for GetTextMetrics correct. + + We also get support for .pcf/.bdf's almost for free if we get .fon's working. \ No newline at end of file
