2268.0. "XFontStruct VS FORMAT OF BDF" by HANDVA::RICHARDCHAN () Wed Feb 14 1990 04:02

	I would like to ask what are the relationship between Font Properties
	returned from XQueryFont in Xlib and the parameters in BDF file such as
	POINT SIZE, X RESOLUTION, Y RESOLUTION, WIDTH IN X, HEIGHT IN Y, X
	DISPLAYMENT, Y DISPLAYMENT, SWIDTH, DWIDTH, BBX etc.

	I want to modify a BDF file according to a certain font properties.
	However, when I get these font properties from a font such as
	"-ADOBE-NEW CENTURY SCHOOLBOOK-MEDIUM-R-NORMAL--*-140-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1"
	, I get confused which members correspond to the properties in BDF file
	format such as SWIDTH. How can I modify the BDF file according to the
	information returned from calling XQueryFont?

	Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance?

regards,
richard
