Hello!

I have some issues porting from QNX4 to QNX6.5x

I use selfmade .phf - fonts from QNX4 containing own symbols in it for a 
small photon-application window running a terminal in it.

Changing the font using an escape sequence ( echo "\0033\"fphffontname\"" 
) causes the terminal to change the size of a terminal because of the 
character size, but the text is invisible. changing back , eg. to pcterm14 
works well (text is visible again).
The same happens to pterm windows.

I have done:
I put the *.phf in the /usr/photon/font_repository and using "mkfontdir -b 
-d /usr/photon/font_repository" for creating new entries in fontdir file. 
This works.

Watching all installed/registered fonts with a test program using 
PfQueryFontsCx(...) shows up my fonts. But, looking to the properties of a 
pterm window doesn't show the own fonts in the custom list.

One Difference, I figured out is that the preinstalled fonts 
FontDetails.flags uses one more bitstring
our fonts flag is 0x11 (PHFONT_INFO_FIXED|PHFONT_INFO_PLAIN) ; 
instead eg. pcterm14 is 0x111 
(PHFONT_INFO_SANSERIF|PHFONT_INFO_FIXED|PHFONT_INFO_PLAIN)

Using "fontinfo -f fontfile.phf" also shows up one more attribute for the 
preinstalled fonts: ( "[__PHF_P2_ATTR_][__PF_FIX_]" contrary to our fonts 
: "[__PF_FIX_]" )

Rendering the fonts using "fontinfo -r ..." shows up all characters.

I guess there are some information missing in the header of the font 
files.

Is there any documentation about the header or structure of phf - font 
files ? I didn't found any in the forum or www .

Or is there a font editor ?

btw: the font from Mike Gorchak (

) works well too.

Thanks in advance
