[comp.windows.x] draw-direction in the server

ostberg@savax.UUCP (Thomas M Ostberg) (07/10/89)

 Why are there two four possible draw direction values in the
 FontInfoRec.drawDirection structure (fontstruct.h) of:
 font.h: LeftToRight, RightToLeft, BottomToTop, TopToBottom 

 When the protocol only supports two: LeftToRight and RightToLeft
  (X Window System Protocol X11R3 pg 42)??

 It causes problems with our Ada X11R3 server because of the type mismatch.

   Why are there two four possible draw direction values in the
   FontInfoRec.drawDirection structure (fontstruct.h) of:
   font.h: LeftToRight, RightToLeft, BottomToTop, TopToBottom 

The vertical values are leftovers from an early draft of the protocol.
Ignore them.
