[comp.sys.apollo] gmr3d font question

byron@pyr.gatech.EDU (Byron A Jeff) (06/15/88)

I'm working on editing text using gmr3d. Unfortunately the stroke characters
are proportional width. I'm trying to find a way to get a fixed width font.

gmr3d seems to use the metafile /sys/gmr3d/gmfile.font for the definition of the
characters. This metafile is created by an application using gmr3d if it 
doesn't exist. But no matter how I modify the structures in this metafile 
the characters show up as if no changes had been made.

I'm aware that version 2.6 will be released soon and that pixel fonts will
be available. However this application is going out the door before that
happens.

So I'm looking for any suggestions to get gmr3d to use the changed structures
in the metafile.

Please e-mail any responses ASAP. Thanks.

BAJ
