x3270-xft's Introduction

x3270-xft

x3270 terminal emulator uses the old X11 core font system which doesn't allow to use anti-aliased (smooth) fonts like .otf, .ttf and so forth. The switch to the modern Xft (X FreeType, which supports anti-aliased fonts) font system is recommended for all X11 applications.

x3270.freetypeFont resource should be used to specify a FreeType font name in the Xft format:

<family>-<size>:<name>=<value>...

Example: "monospace-12". If you don't specify x3270.freetypeFont then x3270 behaves as usual.

This patch should be applied to the 3.3.15ga4 version of x3270 using the following commands:

cd x3270-3.3 && patch -p1 <x3270.patch
./configure
make

x3270-xft's Issues

Ported to version 4.0 and font spacing/colors aren't working

I'm not sure if this is dead or not but I ported this to 4.0 here:

mainframed/x3270-xft-changes@dbcb213

And it compiles and works, sort of. Two issues: The font spacing doesn't put the characters in the right place, unless I highlight over them, also intense colors (bold) seems to put the background over the text.

I'm a little in over my head when it comes to writing X11 C code and any help would be appreciated.

Here's some examples (spacing issues):

And here's what happens when you use the intense hilight for 3270:
