Hello @mailinglists35, thank you for the various comments.
Think this was stuck on confirming precisely why the fonts were not be recognised, with the candidates being both the PANOSE
metadata and the isFixedPitch
flag itself. Have you been able to confirm which of those solves the issue of Putty not finding/using the fonts?
This is the setting of the 'isFixedPitch
flag on Roboto
PuTTY code is at:
Don't have the MS Windows source code, but the Wine implementation (which uses Freetype) populates this field in:
with:
FT_IS_FIXED_WIDTH(ft_face);
pOS2->panose[PAN_PROPORTION_INDEX] == PAN_PROP_MONOSPACED;
ave you been able to confirm which of those solves the issue of Putty not finding/using the fonts?
@sladen forgive me, I am just an innocent end-user: I see a nice font, I click it, I see it available in putty.
It is a bit difficult for me to compile stuff, but I can happily try a ttf file if someone can build versions with various flags enabled/disabled.
I could blindly monkey-paste some ubuntu or fedora build instructions as long as they are idiot-proof.
@sladen I cloned the repo but I can't find string isFixedPitch
in the sources. neither PANOSE
- where do I modify and what?
to load in putty i must enable the option window-appearance - allow selection of variable pitch fonts
please make the font truly monospaced
thanks
