#motif #x11 #xlib

So, for a while now I've been working in creating a web site for a more maintained set of information for #motif programming, xlib programming, etc.

See: https://motif-central.org

It's perhaps a work in progress still, but the idea is to pull together all of the tidbits of information that's been floating about recently.

If anyone has any desire to help, the repo for this is here:

https://codeberg.org/thomasadam/motif-central

Deployment happens via Codeberg actions, once code has been pushed on the `main` branch.

I hope someone finds it useful or at least interesting.

Thanks to: @gemelen, @jns, @techokami, and no doubt others I've forgotten!

#motif #xmbdfed

@drj -- this motif font editor is awesome.

I've got a massive book by O'Reilly on Fonts, and I've never really read it. I bought it because back in the day it seemed like something I'd be interested in.

My knowledge of fonts stopped at the XLFD specification which quickly became out of date, alas.

What was interesting about xmbdfed though is the way glyphs (if that's the correct word?) were created on a grid. This instantly reminded me of a similar concept on the BBC Micro, alas, I cannot recall the name of the program now.
