Could you change the XLFD for Microsoft's "Codepages" : . microsoft - CHARSET_REGISTRY, registration authority that owns specified encoding . cp1251 - CHARSET_ENCODING, registered name that identifies the coded character set as defined by that registration authority ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/R6.3/xc/doc/specs/XLFD/ http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jec/programs/xfsft/encodings.html http://www.xfree86.org/4.0/fonts3.html -----Original Message----- From: Juliusz Chroboczek <Juliusz.Chroboczek@ens.fr> To: a.voropay@globalone.ru <a.voropay@globalone.ru> Subject: Re: xfsft and "microsoft-cp1251" vs "windows-1251" [...] I only sugest using this name for XLFD glyph encodings. I do not suggest using it for any other purpose. AV> Could you point out any standarts for this name ? This was chosen by mutual agreement between me, the X-TT developers, and the Wine developers. It is not standard. AV> Why not "cp1251". Because XLFD glyph encoding names need to be of the form <registry>-<encoding> i.e. two fields separated with a dash (`-'). [...] =========== -- -=AV=-
