Is Beauty Only Pixel Deep?, Part 1 (Linux Journal)
[Posted June 2, 2002 by corbet]
The Linux Journal
talks about
management of X11 fonts in this "how to" article. "
The real
problem with fonts under Linux (under X actually) is the many different
ways of handling fonts, not to mention different font types. We have both
bitmap and outline fonts; which further break down into Speedo fonts,
portable compiled fonts, Type1, TrueType, ghostscript fonts and others.
This is one place where 'more than one way to do it' hasn't paid
off."
