This question might have been already asked on the net, and I even vaguely remember that it has - but I don't remember when and what the reply was. So here it is again: Can I use 16 bit fonts (e.g. k14) with libXaw? I have just tried to invoke xedit -fn k14, it doesn't seem to access the characters properly. The latin alphabet begins with characters 0x2330, but what I get are characters between 0x2122 and 0x217e, i.e., the first non empty table (0x2100). Since you cannot have more than one font used with the given widget at a time, to use 16 bit fonts would be an obvious solution for situations in which various exotic symbols are needed (e.g., maths, logic, linguistics). Is there any way that I can do so right now using the existing libXaw?
