[comp.windows.x] X11 Font File Format

mcneill@eplrx7.UUCP (mcneill) (02/04/89)

I want to use the X11 fonts for a project that I am not going to be using
X11 for (i.e. we won't be using the X11 library font functions).  Where do I
find the font file format in the X11 documentation? .....or do I have just
have to browse around the source.

Thanks,

Keith

Source format (BDF) documentation can be found in R3 in doc/bdf/*
(or in hardcopy/bdf/bdf.PS.Z).  Binary format (SNF) documentation
is a little harder to come by; there is some discussion in
doc/Server/ddx.tbl.ms, but you may be better off perusing the source
to the compiler, in fonts/bdftosnf/*.
