Have you read NEWS and the "font selection" part of the docs?
(advanced notation, text, font selection)
Those should answer your questions. If not, let us know.
Yes, I did, but it was a bit unclear to me how to exactly make a specific
font as the default one. I guess I need to learn more about fontconfig :)
After some tweaking I was able to see EC and CM fonts by:
1 - copying the folder \cygwin\usr\share\texmf\fonts\type1\ to any folder
in the font directory list in fonts.conf
2 - provide required aliases for font names:
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>EuropeanComputerModern</family>
<family>Bitstream Vera Serif</family>
etc...
(btw is this the correct way to go?)
I was getting some messy results until I read the "Default font in 2.5.26
on Windows" post in the lilypon-devel list:
In font.scm there is:
(add-pango-fonts n 'roman "Century Schoolbook L" factor)
(add-pango-fonts n 'sans "Luxi Sans" factor)
But on Windows these fonts are not present. So Pango goes back to some
default: Bitstream Vera Sans for both. That's not optimal.
If I change font.scm to:
(add-pango-fonts n 'roman "serif" factor)
(add-pango-fonts n 'sans "sans-serif" factor)
it will use pango's preferences for fonts.
Changing this I get a text layout similar to 2.4.6, but there are two
things I still need to fix:
1 - The space character is "underscored" according to the glyph for the
space char in the EC fontset. So I get "spaced_words" instead of "apaced
words". How can I get rid of it? It's not enough to have the 0x20 char
(space) in the "blank" list in fontconfig?
2 - The endash (long hyphen) character appears as two hyphens. Supposedly
"--" translates to endash in EC and CM, but I can't make it appear again.
Why?
Sorry if I'm asking dumb or trivial questions. This way of tweaking
settings is new to me (being a Windows zombie) and I feel a bit lost
sometimes...
Thanks and greetings,
Vincent
