we'll post pilfont versions of the fonts in the X11 release within a
|
|
near future. These fonts are fully redistributable, but the current
|
|
version of pilfont doesn't copy the copyright text from the source
|
|
files. That should be fixed first.

pilfont has been tested with all files from the standard distribution,
|
|
but the version shipped with 1.0b1 fails on fonts generated by some
|
|
other tools. most notable, it assumes that the FONT field is a full
|
|
X11 font specifier, e.g:
|
|
|
|
FONT -Adobe-Times-Medium-R-Normal--11-80-100-100-P-54-ISO8859-1
|
|
|
|
some tools use values like "font1" or "generated" etc. you could
|
|
try editing the files by hand, changing the value of FONT to some-
|
|
thing (anything) with an appropriate number of hyphens in it...
|
|
|
|
this will be fixed (together with some other problems) in 1.0 final.
