hi marius, hi all,
due my reallife taking all my time i only got time to read my e-mails with my computer @ the moment, so that pd-font has to wait... and there are still some big questions if i even realize it (or how we realize it).
- because pd(tcl/tk) uses fonts installed on system, the font has to be
installed IN system; so this would be against millers PD policy !? (and i heard installing fonts on linux is a pain in the a..) [but on win32 its only 1 copy-action]
- i dont 100% know what is the multiple-bitamapFont format that linux uses
(win32 uses .FON)
but besides all questions i see only 2 ways how we do this:
- the font has to be installed in system and pd usage stays the same
or 2. some1 codes a "fontDisplaying-unit" for/in PD so it would load the font from pd-dir... (or is there a way to use fonts with tcl/tk that are NOT installed in system?)
but i remember miller saying that he would want pd to have its own font someday, so i wouldnt want to drop this project rightaway. i just want to know HOW we do it before i start (again)
to marius question: copy the font (******.FON) to "/windows/fonts" rename ALL "courier" in pd.tk with the font-name (not the filename!) but with the fonts internal name. you should see it when you go with explorer to "/windows/font" i think my fonts name was "test57" or "piidii"... thats it ! oh, and delete ALL "bold" from pd.tk too... and i think my font was only for size 8...
cheers -andre ps. marius, if you need more help. dont hesitate to ask!
