The output window shows the output of the rastering operations. Its type is
different for the standard and the X11 rastering functions. For the standard
rastering functions, it is always adapted to the size of the glyph which is
displayed plus a margin of 5 pixels on each side. For this reason, leading and
trailing white space is not shown in the output window, it only shows up in
the glyph's metrics in the message windows.
The X11 rastering functions
generate an output window of constant size (600 400 pixels)
with a logical origin in its center. This center is marked by a cross-hair of
color cyan. The glyph is placed with respect to this origin. If it is too
large to fit, the glyph simply is clipped. A second cross-hair is shown at the
place where the origin of the next glyph would be located in color magenta.
If a character map of a font is displayed, the output window contains
a map of cells whose size depends on the metrics of the
font that is displayed.
