Hello,

At the NOB, Hilversum, HOLLAND we are using Performer to
build a character generator. We already have the ONYX integrated in an
edit-suite/studio for Virtual Studio applications so it seems logical
to use it for character generation also.

Question: How can I read Adobe-type1 fonts directly into a performer
          font.
          I currently use the 'type1rd.c' source to create the 'objfnt'
          outline definition and use and 'OLD' tool 'meshfont' from
          Paul Haeberli to generate the mesh definitions.
          I cannot intergrate this tool into my source because it uses
          the old 'libtri.a'. Is there a solution ??

Error: The function 'pfGetStringCharPos()' gives wrong result's for
       strings containing spaces and linefeeds.
       I use it to position a 3D cursor. And it does NOT work...

Currently I use Performer 2.0 on IRIX 5.3
We will change soon to IRIX 6.2 an Performer 2.1

We still need support for 2.0, is it possible to send some fixes for
the pfGetStringCharPos function ??
