I don't know about the Java side of things but from the DECwindows
server aspects it should be possible. If the font is a TrueType font
then, since you are on V7.3-2, yes it can be imported (sort of).
Others have had success doing this, but when I tried it I failed, so
these steps may need some experimentation.
1. You need to get hold of the font and check you can legally use it
2. You probably need to copy it as a binary file [I think this may be
where I went wrong] and create a streamlf file, you want to create it
in:
"DECW$SYSCOMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.USER_TRUETYPE]"
3. You need to create a
DECW$FONT_DIRECTORY_USER_TRUETYPE.DAT (or it may be without the
_USER_TRUETYPE, I'm not sure)
in that directory that lists the font. Use the example in the
TRUETYPE directory. I think the format is:
count of fonts on 1 line
each font on a line
font file font specification
4. Use xset to tell the server to reload the font path
You should be all set, and it should be available always in future so
no need to repeat.
---------
The "sort of" is because in V7.3-2 there are two known issues with
using TrueType fonts.
Some queries on TrueType fonts can crash the server. I have seen this
with xlsfonts and the -ll qualifier where -l or -lll worked okay.
There was a small memory leak in the server when changing the font
path, if TrueType fonts had been loaded.

How does it look if you use appletviewer (comes with JDK for VMS)? That's
what I use when I need to run an applet on VMS.

I have a question regarding fonts used by applets launched by web
browsers.
In this case I'm launching an applet from CSWB 1.4 on VMS 7.3-2 and
Motif 1.3-1 and it looks horrible. The text is overlapping, the
button text exceeds the button size, etc. The same applet looks fine
if done from a M$ box, but what good is that in the long run?
Is there some way I can "import" M$ fonts to make this applet readable
on my VMS box?
P.S. It's not my applet, and the tech support for those that wrote it
say use a M$ platform and all will be well. HA! Not in my world! |
