Entries in the 'File' Menu.
There are a number of features accessible through this menu that may not be self-explanatory. This is an attempt at documenting them.
"Paste Name"
This replaces the current font with the current selection, and displays that font in the sample window. This is used if you have a fontname displayed in an editor, or selected with xfontsel, and you want to transfer it to TkFont. If the current selection is not a fontname, then you will get an error message.
If you want to copy a fontname from TkFont to another application, it's quite easy. The fontname is selected as soon as you click on it in the list, and you can use the 'paste' command in the other application to insert it. If you are using 'xterm', you can choose the 'Selection' entry from the fonts menu (Press Ctrl-rightbutton to see this menu), and the xterm will change to whatever font you've selected. Remember to use only fixed-width fonts for this. If you have changed the fontname in the name editing window, you can transfer this name by selecting it in that window, and then pasting it in to your application.
"Show Info"
This is the same as pressing the middle mouse button over the currently selected font name.
"Show Dirs"
This brings up a list of all the font directories that X Windows was using at the time TkFont was started. This feature is documented elsewhere; please choose "Help/Dirs" for information.
"Find File"
This displays a dialog box showing what directory contains the file corresponding to a particular font, and what the filename of that font is. Press 'Info' for information about the file.
"Re-read Font"
This tells the X server to re-read the font directories, and then refreshes TkFont's database to reflect any changes. You have to use this for any changes you make to become effective.
"Exit"
Quits the program.
