Starting Applications with a Specific Traditional Chinese Font List

When you start an Asian Solaris tool at the command line, you can also specify its fonts. Below is an example of a command line argument used to start a new Traditional Chinese Windows terminal with a specified font list:


system% dtterm -fn  "-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s \  	
serif-16-140-75-75-p-70-cns11643-0; \  	-dt-interface 
system-medium-r-normal-s \  	serif-16-140-75-75-p-140-cns11643-1:"
Note the two delimiters used in the font list. The ";" delimiter is used to separate the font names except for the last font name, which ends with the ":" delimiter. (In the example above, ";" follows the English font name, and the ":" delimiter follows the Traditional Chinese font name.) Since there are spaces in the long font names, the font list is enclosed in quotation marks.
