Re: Internal font representation

Hi,

No, the bug remains and I would like to work on an xp fix.

While part of me would dearly love to rely on the existing bold/italic
system, MacOSX is not going to let me.

Quite apart from people wanting to use these other fonts, the RTF Abi
gets from the clipboard is laced with actual font names rather than
font family names - which irritates me no end, but we have to live with
it. We need a proper solution long term but I'm still working on ways
to handle it in the short term.

I need to learn how fonts work on other platforms...

Ciao, Frank
