Hi everybody,

Is it possible to set fonts used by "fdesign"? I mean font "styles",
not sizes (which can be set through resources, according to manual).
The problem I am facing is that I change "built-in" fonts using
"fl_set_font_name" to get Latin2 (ISO 8859-2) character set in my
application. Now, the default font pattern used by XForms is, e.g.
"*-helvetica-...". Unfortunately, my server has not only
"adobe-helvetica-..." fonts (which I have also in Latin2 version) but
also "linotype-helvetica-..." which are FIRST CHOICE fonts for fdesign.

I can force 'fdesign' use the proper (even my Latin2) fonts by changing
the FontPath, but this is not the good way to do it, as this changes
"font behavior" of all other X applications which is not desirable.

with best regards,

Michal.
