I think that is good. For instance, when we change variable-pitch to family "sans", fontconfig surely finds a proper font, and by adding ("sans" "helvetica" "helv" ...) to face-font-family-alternatives, X can also find some font. And for fixed-pitch, "mono" is good. > Maybe it would be also useful to support something like web-browsers > use, where you could specify a "family" of "Dejavu Sans,Helvetica,Sans", > and it would split the list at the commas and use the first one it could > find. This is a good idea in general, but for the problem of "variable-pitch" and "fixed-pitch", I think using "sans" and "mono" are better. --- Kenichi Handa handa@ni.aist.go.jp
