[bt-devel] Fonts

[Fred Saalbach]

Bitmap fonts only scale to sizes for which a bitmap has been created in
the font file.  Bitmap Fonts do not scale!
Outline fonts (type 1 fonts and true type) scale to any size.

If you are having problems scaling fonts, use a type1 or True Type
font.  Font scaling problems are probably only font issues unless you
can not get any font to scale at all.

Here is an interesting article on fonts and Xfree
