I don't see why not, at least gfontsel claims to able to distinguish between
all 3 types of fonts.
Our code is :
41 for (int i = 0; i < matches; ++i) {
42 if (sizes[i] == 0) {
43 // Scalable font should not be considered close
44 } else if (sizes[i] == size) {
45 lyxerr[Debug::FONT] << "Exact font match with\n"
46 << strings[i] << endl;
47 return strings[i];
48 } else if (abs(sizes[i] - size - 0.1) < error) {
49 error = abs(sizes[i] - size - 0.1);
50 closestind = i;
51 }
52 }
53
54 if (scalable && (lyxrc.use_scalable_fonts || closestind == -1)) {
55 // We can use scalable
56 string const font = resize(strings[scaleindex], size);
Why can't we do the X font request for the exact size of the really-scalable
font after line 42 ? It seems to me that sizes[] is just what X told us, and we
haven't actually requested any specific sizes for a really scalable font.
