Subject: [nanogui] Problem: XLoadFont() and freetype2 ...

Hi there,

I am able to run microwindow's "fontdemo" programm with rotated truetype fonts 
using freetype2.

Now I am trying the same from an X11 (actually FLTK) application.
I see that nxlib's XLoadFont() calls GrCreateFont(). But why does 
nxlib-0.45/LoadFont.c contain:

         /* found font, load into server*/
         if (fontname)
                 font = GrCreateFont(fontname, 0, NULL);

This means that the (true type) font will be created with hight=0 which is 
hardly readable. When I change the above to something like

                 font = GrCreateFont(fontname, 20, NULL);

I get nice, huge output.

So should we determine the hight of the font to load first (by parsing the name 
string maybe) and then call GrCreateFont?

Why does it work with .pcf.gz fonts?

Thanks!
