Font name and style are ignored on linux. You pass that in the string with
the font name.
Yust have a look at what you get back from FontRequester(). You
have to pass that to LoadFont()

Well FontRequester() return either 0 or 1...
But SelectedFontName() return the fontname string,
lets say "-urw-avantgarde-demibold-r-normal-*-*-280-*-*-p*-microsoft-cp1251".
So if you pass this one to the LoadFont() it's ok..
Trouble is when you do this in the source posted earlier
in the thread, you still get the default font...

@Freak: Do you know if this is going to be sorted in the next release, or should I look for another alternative?

Last time I talked to Fred about using different fonts with 2d Drawing commands under Linux, he said they were not yet supported.
As a solution I ended up drawing my own font set and displaying as sprites.

I thought about this to Paul, at the moment I'm trying to use BMP fontts. I suppose I can work on the rest of the app for the next month or so and hopefully then an update will have been issued.

That's right, regular fonts aren't supported with sprite commands for now. I don't know if it will be solved in the next release tough. But I will take a closer look to this problem, it won't stay unfixed.
