fonts *.fon

[Opako]

In the folder

Code: Select all

/opt/wine-staging/share/wine/fonts/

I found the fonts
-coure.fon
-couree.fon
-coureg.fon
-courer.fon
-couret.fon

In windows 7 I only found "coure.fon".

1. Qustion:
What are couree.fon, coureg.fon, courer.fon, couret.fon ? Are this complete other fonts?

2. Question:
Why do we need couree.fon, coureg.fon, courer.fon, couret.fon, whereas in Windows 7 it is enough only to have coure.fon ?

3. Question:
What happens, when I delete couree.fon, coureg.fon, courer.fon, couret.fon and only keep coure.fon .

Thank you.

(Same question for
-smalle/e/g/r/t .fon and
-sserife/e/g/r/t .fon and
-sseriff/e/g/r/t .fon and
-vgasys/e/g/r/t .fon)

4. Question:
But why doesn't wine need vgafixe.fon, vgafixg.fon, vgafixr.fon and vgafixt.fon ?
Here it seems to be enough to have only vgafix.fon.
Why is it here different?

Would be very interested. Thank you.

They appear to be for different code pages. The names show up in dlls/gdi32/freetype.c at least and e/g/r/t seem to correspond to Eastern Europe / Greek / Russian (or Cyrillic) / Turkish.

No idea what differences there are. Maybe older versions of windows only installed the localized version as coure.fon? Anyway they are all generated at build time from fonts/courier.ttf etc.

I assume vgafix is some special case? freetype.c has an entry for vgafixe.fon and others, don't know from just glancing at it what that's about. freetype.c has a bunch of comments if you really want to read about things.
