Using Smile [1], if I create custom dialogs using an OS9 'System font' [2]
of either Small or Large variety, do those just automatically transfer to
OSX as your Small and Large System font (Lucida Grande 11 and 13?) ?
How should I handle font metrics in dialogs if the base system font is
different across OSes?
Are the 'traditional' MacOS fonts present in X, and if so, will my selection
of one of the OS9 system fonts use that font, if present, in X or will it
use an 'equivalent' system font?
Any pointers or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary
[1] The Smile manual, version 'en_may03', says:
In the settings dialog of a [dialog] control you can perform the following:
set its font to one of the two system fonts Large size and Small size.
(Under a standard US English install of Jaguar, the system fonts
are Lucida Grande 13 and 11, respectively).
[2] Standard OS 9 install includes the following 'system fonts':
Large: Gadget, Charcoal, Chicago, Capitals, Sand, Techno, Textile
Small: Geneva
