DESCRIPTION

INPUT PARAMETERS

fildes
is an integer file descriptor returned by gopen when an I/O path to a graphics device is opened.
chset
is the name of a character set’s directory.
gset
selects one of the four G-sets (0 - 3).

DISCUSSION

Designate_character_set pre-concatenates the string ’/usr/lib/starbase/stroke’ with the character set directory name specified by the chset parameter. The resulting path name is used to identify the character set to be associated with the G-set specified by the gset parameter. The actual path name for the font to be used is the concatenation of the character set path name and the font index. The font index is specified by the text_font_index procedure. This implies that the character set path name is a directory.

The following character sets are supported as a part of this product:

*chset name path name
usascii USASCII /usr/lib/starbase/stroke/usascii
jisascii JISASCII /usr/lib/starbase/stroke/jisascii
katakana KATAKANA /usr/lib/starbase/stroke/katakana
hproman HP ROMAN /usr/lib/starbase/stroke/hproman

DEFAULTS

G0, G2 USASCII (as set in /usr/lib/starbase/defaults).
G1, G3 HP ROMAN (as set in /usr/lib/starbase/defaults).
