Hi,
I have done close to nil programming on UI. To start with are Windows
fonts(calling them so because I seen them on Windows) like Arial etc.
available on Solaris?. Is the look and feel the same?/
Kind of lost. Would help if I could get a pointer to a site that talks
of this. My requirement is to port an application that prints Reports
on Windows to Solaris. The look and feel of the report has to be
maintained. Is this possible? Is it possible through X11?
Thanks and Regards,
M Shetty

From the top of my head: I seem to recall that Sun provides Arial. It
should be in the xxx/X11/fonts/TrueType directory. If not you can
easily install it yourself as "Windows fonts" are really TrueType fonts
and recent versions of X11 support TrueType.

If the original application was 'clean' C code, you can use WineLib , which is
an X version of the Windows API.
