Set font dialog in windows

Set font dialog in windows

[William Xue]

Hi,
   I find that the choosefont dialog displayed by "Set Font/Fontset..."  
item of Options menu in NTEmace only involved a subset of the system  
fonts. Is there any restriction to use other fonts that did not display in  
the dialog in NTEmacs?

William

You could set the variable 'w32-list-proportional-fonts' with
(setq w32-list-proportional-fonts t).

Thanks, Guanpeng!
I take for that it should modify the code in w32fns.c.
There are also some strange fonts such as 8512, 8612, fa12, fa16, fb12,  
fb16, and so on,
which I never saw in other choosefont dialogs.
