Hi Dan,
The reason that this sample is commented out from the Makefile on win32
is because it uses X input in lieu of pfutil's input mechanism. This isn't
the only sample which hasn't been fully ported (there are many lib
src/pguide/libpf) but most of those that aren't ported fall into this
category as well.
I've attached a modified version of this file which use pfutil to do
input and works just fine on win32.
As for your code, I suggest you pump up the PFNFYLEVEL to see what's
happening with the fonts. Converting a X Logical Font Description into
something that windows understands isn't "simple"; you may be running into
a case which we don't handle properly.
A+,
Alex.
