Hi,

We have replacements for MS Sans Serif, Courier, System and Marlett.
Marlett is a TrueType font and that's essentially complete thanks to
TransGaming.

The others are bitmap fonts and under Windows these come in localized
versions and also in two resolutions (96 and 120 dpi).  I've only been
working on the 96 dpi strikes so far and the table summarizes the
number of strikes compeleted/no in Windows for each font in a given
codepage.  (1250 - east europe, 1251 - cyrillic, 1252 - latin 1)

                         1250    1251    1252 
System                    1/1     1/1     1/1

Courier                   1/3     1/3     1/3

MS Sans Serif             2/6     2/6     3/6

Actually the cp1251 sets aren't quite 100% complete as there are a few
non-Russian characters that Dmitry hasn't done.

There is nothing so far for Greek, Turkish, Hebrew or Arabic codepages.
and we're entirely missing MS Serif, Terminal and Small fonts.

We're also missing replacement TrueType fonts for Tahoma and
Microsoft Sans Serif (which is different from MS Sans Serif!) - these
are considerably more effort than the bitmap ones.

On the coding side of things, we'll need a way to select which set of
bitmap fonts are used based on the current locale.

Hope that's useful,
Huw.
