Hi,
I have a question for installing 2 byte (Chinese) font in the MacX 1.1.
I download bdf fonts in the Mac and use the font menu to convert them and
update the font list. The `xlsfonts` command shows the newer installed fonts
in the MacX server. However, when I try to use `xfd` to view 2 byte font,
Mac bombs with ID=12. I notice that 1 byte font I installed works fine. I am
pretty sure that 2 byte font itself has no problem, since I use it in a Sun
Station. I also checked Mac system error code, which says that 12 represents
"unimplemented core routine error". I don't know if this indicates that 2 byte
fonts are not support by the current version of MacX. The system I am using
is a Mac Plus with 2.5 Mb RAM, 44 Mb external harddisk running system 6.05.
The communication is performed through local talk.
Besides the above problem, I am satisfied by the performance of MacX. I heard
MacX team is reading this newsgroup, could someone help me? Thanks in advance.
