[comp.windows.x] Resizeable Fonts Under X11

cam@acd4.UUCP ( Chris Marsolf ) (09/20/89)

My company is currently converting a graphics program from SUN GKS
to X11 on a SUN workstation.  SUN GKS has a character height
subroutine that allows the program to change the height of characters
selected from a text font when they are drawn within a window.
Causing the window to resize larger or smaller automatically causes
the characters to resize accordingly.

Is there a font or method within X11 that will produce the same results?

There is no direct support for this in the core X protocol.
