Я исал автору xfstt Herbert Duerr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> и куратору пакета
Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
На сегодня имеется ответ от автора, он, как я понял, его одобрил. Кроме
того, я писал ему о баге, из-за которого xfstt создает русские шрифты из
шрифтов, не содержащих русских символов, которые, естественно, не работают.
Текст ответов приложен к письму.
Заодно прошу тех, у кого Netscape не работал из-за xfstt, проверить
гипотезу, что это связано с появлением таких вот псевдошрифтов. Просто
оставьте в каталоге только те TTF, что _гарантированно_ UNICODE и содержат
русские сомволы, то есть Times New Roman, Courier New, Arial, и проветрьте,
будет ли он работать. Я проверить не могу, так как у меня Netscape другой
версии (упакован Corel) и он вроде работал.
Ответа от куратора пока нет.

Clever idea! Thanks for the Unicode->Ncurses mapping.
Are the box-drawing characters really in most *.ttf fonts?
If not, it doesn't hurt at all though; and maybe they could be
generated automatically for monospaced fonts that don't
have them.

Ooops. I think I know what you mean.
Currently xfstt doesn't even try to check, whether there are any glyphs in
the font
that match with the user's encodings. This is because the info, which
glyphs are
available in a font is only there after the font has been opened. Then it
is already to late.
The encoding info would have to be stored in another mini-database... doing
this means quite some programming work in xfstt.cpp.

I don't understand how this could happen in the situation that there are no
glyphs
for an encoding. There has to be a different reason, e.g. the font hints
misbehave
or something like that.

That's fine with me, but please remove my phone number etc.
