A fellow employee was wondering if there is a SunView usable Greek font, perhaps in the 10-12 or slightly larger size available. When I got that question, I realized that I have seen very little in the way of font availability announcements. Over in the X arena, I occasionally see someone contributing a font or set of fonts. And of course in the Mac arena, huge families of fonts are available from free to shareware to commercial. Is there a problem with multiple fonts in the Sun arena which makes it more difficult or just too frustrating? On my Sun Sparcstation 1+, I seem to only have 8 different fonts, with at most 8 different sizes available. Of these, there are 2 or 3 which are not very user friendly for a shelltool/cmdtool type window (apl is one that I am thinking of). There are a total of 39 font/size combinations available. But since about 15 of these are just the bold facing complements, I am not sure that one should really count more than 24. Larry W.
