Now that we have a font editor, I want to know if I should build a font for an application of mine that uses about two dozen bitmaps (created and maintained using "bitmap"). Questions include relative average performance of writing font chars vs writing bitmaps (is there a noticeable difference and how much variation between implementations) and how programs ought to handle both (a real pain to have all those XStoreBitmaps, but how do people abstract the positions of entries in non-alphabetic fonts, or don't they bother?). Any info/suggests greatly appreciated. stan shebs shebs@cs.utah.edu
