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 -- Byron A.
