This area is located below the dialog box for the test
string. Information potentially useful to the user is given here.
There should be nothing needed to be said about the info--it is
self-explaining.
But two things should be noted:
- The elapsed time that is displayed is exactly the time spent in
the respective rastering function. There might
have been other actions in force which might make the user believe the
time value given as being incorrect.4 Moreover, the transfer to the
X-server may become significant if 32 bits per pixel are used, the
image is large and
the program is running on a remote machine.
- The message
t1lib: Couldn't generate Bitmap, T1_errno=...!
simply
tells the user that no bitmap could be generated. There may be
several reasons. E.g., the FontID
-value given might have been
out of range. Another possibility is that you have specified a
character index which has no encoded character associated. The value of
T1_errno
might give a hint of what the problem was.
If a character map is displayed, the message window is giving no
information apart from the font name and the final value of
T1_errno
because there have been executed
up to 256 rastering operation and it would be impossible to keep track
of all single operations.
