65 | <P> | |
66 | This module provides access to the IRIS <em>Font Manager</em> library. | |
67 | <a id='l2h-5190' xml:id='l2h-5190'></a> | |
68 | It is available only on Silicon Graphics machines. | |
69 | See also: <em>4Sight User's Guide</em>, section 1, chapter 5: ``Using | |
70 | the IRIS Font Manager.'' | |
71 | ||
72 | <P> | |
73 | This is not yet a full interface to the IRIS Font Manager. | |
74 | Among the unsupported features are: matrix operations; cache | |
75 | operations; character operations (use string operations instead); some | |
76 | details of font info; individual glyph metrics; and printer matching. | |
77 | ||
78 | <P> | |
79 | It supports the following operations: | |
80 | ||
81 | <P> | |

85 | <dd> | |
86 | Initialization function. | |
87 | Calls <tt class="cfunction">fminit()</tt>. | |
88 | It is normally not necessary to call this function, since it is called | |
89 | automatically the first time the <tt class="module">fm</tt> module is imported. | |
