Hi, folks
Can somebody tell me what CLIM tells you about the function
make-device-font-text-style.
Is it a function, or a method ?
What's the type of the first parameter ?
thank's.

Well, Iknow that fact, but the probleme is What is a display-device ?
- a port (what seems to me not easy to use -vs sheet or pixmap -)
- a sheet, a pixmap, ... ????
I forgot to tell you that my question is for free-clim. And I implement
this function :
(defun make-device-font-text-style (display-device device-font-name)
(port-make-font-text-style (port display-device) device-font-name))
==> minor issue : display-device is (or pimap sheet).
is that ok ?? Because there's nothing in the spec about display-device.
Any suggestions ?

I'm afraid I don't know. It may just be vague, of course. From
memory, I think the font stuff is one of the bits of the CLIM spec
which it would be wise to think about a bit before slavishly
implementing. In fact I think that's true of almost the whole CLIM
spec -- there doesn't seem to me to be enough public code (I'm
assuming the cvendors will continue to support the non-public code)
which relies on CLIM-as-it-is to make it worthwhile to do a literal
implementation rather than an implementation of the interesting ideas
with a lot of thought given to the hard/impossible to implement parts.
Just my opinion of course!

We are working for it. But everybody's welcome.
