This is actually an available option, as Yokota-san has > mentioned, and is probably mentioned in the LINT. Is there a way to embed in the font an indication of which character cells to use for the mouse pointer? If you make the information 'optional' we would only need to update the fonts that have useful characters in the default mouse pointer location. This seems like a more general configuration strategy instead of hard coding the location in the kernel for all fonts. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
