Information on font setup #11

Open marekhilton opened 1 year ago

marekhilton commented 1 year ago

Hi, is there any more in depth information on how to set up fonts? I want to be able to use the text and write commands to print unicode characters such as maths symbols but the built-in fonts don't seem to support them. For example, the integral sign is not supported. I know I can use latex for this but in general I prefer using unicode characters. Also the tex command doesn't seem to be scaled by a begin scale ... end scale.

I know very little about fonts but is there a way to use system (linux) installed fonts?

Furthermore I get an error when trying to create SVGs that states postscript fonts cannot be used with -cairo. What does this mean?

I am not sure. I am not a font expert either.

There maybe more information about cairo at the cairo website here cairographics.orghttps://www.cairographics.org/

Or try emailing the mailing the gle discussion list

Sorry I could not be of more help.
