I need Helvetica in either the TT or FT libraries so it will work with Gdkxft. FreeType is preferred, although I think TT will work too.

Cheers.

If anyone understood what you just said, they're doing better than you.

Insomnia - let me clarify ...

Gdkxft transparently adds anti-aliased font support to gtk+-1.2. Once you have installed it, you can run any (well, nearly any) existing gtk+ binary and see anti-aliased fonts in the gtk widgets. You don't need to recompile gtk+ or your applications.

OK now?

On the other hand, I'm as utterly out of depth as you were.

Heh, luke knows all that.

Gdkxft is really amazingly cool. Follow the instructions, and it rocks. You lose some fonts though, anything that isn't TrueType. Which leads me on to...

I need Helvetica in TrueType. Anyone got it? Juts look in c:\windows\fonts\ , cheers.

Only one I could find on a trawl round was on this page:

http://www.pca.ne.jp/fff/newfont/search.cgi ?start=120&group=New-H

As usual, remove the space in the url, which I had to add to avoid words over 60 chars.

S'ok, I've cunningly aliased it to Arial instead (much nicer font). Thanks.
