Subject: Re: [nanogui] Selecting fonts

Cool, that worked using
 font_a = GrCreateFont 
("/usr/X11/lib/fonts/75dpi/helvB18-ISO8859-15.pcf.gz",
            18,NULL);

But, I didn't see in the api html or .pdf docs anything about 
GrCreateFont excepting a font file name. They only state ASCII string of 
a built in font face. I assumed that by built in it meant compiled in at 
nano-X build time. My mistake.

Thank You again.
