Fonts

[Axel Heinrici]

Hello,

.........1.........2.........3.........4.........5.........6.........7
I use gnuplot and some bash-skripts on a Cygwin x86_64-Installation to 
generate a number of plots. Filetype is png because plenty of colleagues 
will look into the plots. 
Usually gnuplot sends the message:
<======================
fontconfig: Couldn't find font. when opening font "arial", using internal
non-scalable font
======================>
That could be a solution if I could force gnuplot always to do so.
when exporting GDFONTPATH=/cygwin/x/Windows/Fonts
I can use Arial Font without error.

The Problem is that I do not understand which font is available or not. 
In c:\Windows\Fonts\ there is a scalable Font called "Terminal", but I 
get the error message:
<======================
fontconfig: Couldn't find font. when opening font Terminal, trying default
======================>
gnuplot then uses arial.

If I run fc-list I get exactly one empty line.

Since I use my skripts in productive environment I would like to have 
deterministic behaviour.

What is chain of command between gnuplot, GD-Terminal, fontconfig and what 
is involved there.

regards,
    Axel

I can't answer your question, but the fontconfig issue is simply that 
fontconfig doesn't know about the Windows font directory.  See

Would this explain why lilypond stopped being able to find some of my PostScript
fonts, such as Times Roman?

May be.
Or something is changed in latest lilypond, or I missed something
when I rebuilt it.

For default lilypond looks on
   /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts
and it should also use fontconfig that is only looking in
   /usr/share/fonts/

Where are your fonts ?

Marco

Try dropping the "Roman"

Just putting "Times" does not work.  lilypond/guile seem to recognize
Times Roman at some level, since if I put anything else, including just
Times, I don't get warnings, but I do get a default sans serif font stuck
in by lilypond.

Here's the fc-query information for the font:

fc-query /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/timR24-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
Pattern has 19 elts (size 32)
         family: "Times"(s)
         style: "Regular"(s)
         slant: 0(i)(s)
         weight: 80(i)(s)
         width: 100(i)(s)
         pixelsize: 34(f)(s)
         foundry: "Adobe"(s)
         antialias: False(s)
         file: "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/timR24-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz"(s)
         index: 0(i)(s)
         outline: False(s)
         scalable: False(s)
         charset:
         0000: 00000001 ffffffff ffffffff 7fffffff 00000000 ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff

         lang:

         fontversion: 0(i)(s)
         fontformat: "PCF"(s)
         decorative: False(s)
         hash: "sha256:5df8425881526fb177ab9b8e9fcd8a9243b63e220b46b25f69f195f82319c2ff"(s)
         postscriptname: "Times"(s)

Here's my suspicion: One part of the software is matching on Times Roman, another on Times, and
as a result the overall matching fails, no matter what I write.  It seems that some mapping table
is missing or incorrect ...

My apologies, everyone.  That should have gone to the cygwin-xfree
group.

There are many ways to do it, all of which are mentioned in the man page
for rxvt.  I'll mention two.  You can specify the font on the rxvt
command-line with the -fn switch, e.g.

  % rxvt -fn fixed

Alternatively, you can specify it in your $HOME/.Xdefaults file:

  XTerm*font: fixed

Beware of the latter if you sometimes use rxvt without X, since the same
font name looks different when rxvt is displayed through an X server and
when it is displayed through Windows.  The default "7x14" is larger
under X; it seems that "fixed" under X yields approx. the same font as
"7x14" under Windows.

Does anyone else notice the difference in font sizes between rxvt under
X and rxvt under Windows?  Are there any solutions?  It would be nice to
set an X resource for rxvt so that the font looked reasonable under
Windows and X.

Myriam,

Questions on Cygwin/XFree86 should be addressed to the <cygwin-xfree at
cygwin dot com> list.  I'm redirecting this message there.  For your
conveninece, I've also set the Reply-To: field to point to the appropriate
list.  Please remove <cygwin at cygwin dot com> from further discussion.

Hi!

I'm a new user of Cygwin. I can't say how grateful I am 
for such a nice product. 

How do you set the fonts for rxvts in Cygwin/XFree86? 
I couldn't find any info in the manual on how to do that.  
That would be very helpful since the resolution of 
this laptop I use sucks.
