X Windows Fonts with Symbols?
I would like to write some text which includes the symbols for Spades,
Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs. I know that some years ago I had a word
processor with fonts which included these symbols but now I can't find
any. I used xfontsel to examine the symbol and dingbats fonts with no
success. Thinking I was missing something I wrote a couple of lines of
C++ to display the ascii characters from 40 to 255 but it didn't show
anything beyond character 127 - presumably because I haven't yet figured
out how to change fonts in the program.
I'll struggle with this some more tomorrow but if I am missing something
obvious I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
Specifically, I have started learning Perl-Tk from the widget program
and the man page and I would like to write text on the canvas widget
which includes the playing card symbols.
