Subject:      Using Hardware fonts with device XCOLOR
Comments: cc: jones@nceas.AMERICAN.EDU, schild@nceas.AMERICAN.EDU

Can anyone point me to a work-around for using hardware fonts in
graphics output with a device like XCOLOR that only lists one hardware
font?  The most recent SAS Ballot lists the following graphics option as
a potential feature to add:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics Devices
  RANK   VOTES   NUMBER
  63.5     19     188     include a facility similar to the FONT
                          UTILITY to allow the addition of hardware
                          fonts to the XCOLOR, XBW, and XGRAY device
                          drivers so hardware fonts can be displayed
                          on UNIX platforms
----------------------------------------------------------------------
which is basically what I want to do.  Is there a way now?  Can I make a
copy of the XCOLOR device and modify it in a way that makes it recognize
the other fonts that other Xapps have access to?  Thanks,
 
                                                Matt
