Phindows and TTF

I am trying to connect QNX4 from MSWindows using Phindows 2.0 Beta.
There is Photon 1.14 on QNX4. I have added arial ttf to Photon
and I am running an application which uses the ttf fonts and works
well on QNX. However in Phindows I have no characters at all.
If I erase ttf from Photon on QNX, Phindows works and the arial
font is replaced by Helvetica. But I would like to use ttf
on from QNX GUI. Can somebody advice me what to do ?
Is there a hint to use ttf font under Phindows, or there is
a possibility to use for them another fontdir file ?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

Hi,

I checked with the developer and phindows only supports
the .phf fonts so unfortunately ttf fonts will not work.

Sorry

In phindows, the Helvetica font is enough for me.
But, I am able to get Helvetica in Phindows only if I erase
ttf fonts from Photon. I dislike to do it. I am looking for
a possibility to use e.g. font substitution valid for Phindows
only, or another trick.

Hello Andy

You can detect wether or not you are being displayed remotely and then change
the font that you are using.

Thanks

Hi,

wat’s about pfr fonts, say e.g. phindowing (nice word?) chinese systems?

Hi,

The phindows engine can only interpret .phf fonts so the pfr fonts will not work.

Hi,

There is a new phrelay for qnx4 that is in the testing stage that will
resolve the known font problems.

So this isn’t an issue of phindows but of phrelay?
Is this new phrelay part of any official beta?

Hi Friedhelm,

It is more of a phrelay and phindows limitation… Instead of trying to
port all the font code to windows for phindows it was easier to add the
fixes/upgrades to the phrelay.

As for the phrelay it is not part of any offical beta. An exact timeline
has not been worked out for testing at this time.

Regards
Brenda
