For Mac it seems that we need -these files: - atmfont.c -- font-driver on mac using ATM fonts, corresponding - to xfont.c -As BDF fonts are currently used on w32, we may also implement these: - bdffont.c -- generic font-driver for BDF fonts, corresponding to - ftfont.c - bdfw32font.c -- font-driver on w32 using BDF fonts, - corresponding to ftxfont.c -But, as FreeType already supports BDF fonts, if FreeType and -Fontconfig are also available on w32, what we need may be: - ftw32font.c -- font-driver on w32 directly using FreeType fonts - utilizing methods provided by ftfont.c. - -It may be interesting if Emacs supports a frame buffer directly and -has these font driver. - ftfbfont.c -- font-driver on FB for FreeType fonts. - bdffbfont.c -- font-driver on FB for BDF fonts. - -Note: The fontset related codes are not yet matured to work well with -the font backend method. So, for instance, even if you start Emacs -as something like this: - % emacs -fn tahoma -Non-ASCII Latin characters will not be displayed by the font "tahoma". -In such a case, please try this: - -(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'latin '("tahoma" .
