AGGRRR
The only way (TGS) Inventor recognizes the fonts via name is
1) fontname and filename are identical or atleast there must be a
symbolic link named like the font
means
eg: font `Courier-Bold' -> filename `Courier-Bold'
2) all the fonts/links to fonts must be collected in one directory even
if all directories containing proper fonts and filenames are listed in
the environment Variable `OIV_PSFONT_PATH' (AGGRRR)
conclusion neither there is a possibility to thest wether font can
displayed or not nor is there any support for XFS :(

Hi
I do have the following problem
For exporting the content of the shown scene as and Image for inclusion
into a paper
I have coded a SoText2 and SoFont(Style) based module via which one can
label
parts of the scene but i do have the following problems with the Fonts
themselves
1) if i let the psfontpath (UNIX) beeing the default one I do only have
2 fonts
a normal and a Bold one
2) if i do extend the psfont path to all fontpathes known on the system
so it
might be possible that the font selected by the user via a font dialog
can be
found, the font is found but can't be displayed
-> what do I have to set in the SoFontStyle node to get the font displayed
(basically)
-> how can i check wether a font is displayable by Inventor or not
-> how to compile a fontname (style) so that inventor picks the correct
font
when talking above about fontname/style I mean:
Arial
Times (new) Roman
...
and these are meant as they are
further i do need a solution which also holds for windows (eg using
#ifdefs)
