Point Sizes for Standard Application Fonts

The complete set of point sizes available for each of the standard application font names is determined by the set of fonts shipped with a vendor's CDE platform, whether bitmapped only or both bitmapped and scalable outline. The minimum set of sizes required and available on all CDE platforms corresponds to the standard sizes of bitmapped fonts that make up the default mapping for X11R5: 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24.

For example, the entire set of six sizes of the plain monospaced font can be represented by the patterns:

-dt-application-medium-r-normal-*-80-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
-dt-application-medium-r-normal-*-100-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
-dt-application-medium-r-normal-*-120-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
-dt-application-medium-r-normal-*-140-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
-dt-application-medium-r-normal-*-180-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
-dt-application-medium-r-normal-*-240-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1

These patterns match the corresponding standard font name on any CDE platform, even though the numeric fields other than POINTSIZE may be different on various platforms, and the matched fonts may be either serif or sans serif, depending on how the vendor implemented the set of standard names.
