1. Get freetype-1.0.full.tar.gz
|
|
2. Read docus, unpack, configure and install
|
|
3. Test the library, e.g. "ftview 20 /dosc/win95/fonts/times "
|
|
4. Get xfsft-beta1e.linux-i586
|
|
5. Install it and start it when booting, e.g. in an rc-script.
|
|
The manpage for xfs applies.
|
|
6. Follow the hints given by williamc@dai.ed.ac.uk
|
|
==========
|
|
I got xfsft from http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jec/progindex.html.
|
|
I have it running all the time. Here is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config:
|
|
clone-self = on
|
|
use-syslog = off
|
|
catalogue = /c/windows/fonts
|
|
error-file = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/fs-errors
|
|
default-point-size = 120
|
|
default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100
|
|
Obviously /c/windows/fonts is where my Windows fonts on my
|
|
Win95 C: drive live; could be e.g. /mnt/dosC/windows/system
|
|
for Win31.
|
|
In /c/windows/fonts/fonts.scale I have
|
|
14
|
|
arial.ttf -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
arialbd.ttf -monotype-arial-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
arialbi.ttf -monotype-arial-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
ariali.ttf -monotype-arial-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
cour.ttf -monotype-courier-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
courbd.ttf -monotype-courier-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
courbi.ttf -monotype-courier-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
couri.ttf -monotype-courier-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
times.ttf -monotype-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|

|
|
timesbi.ttf -monotype-times-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
timesi.ttf -monotype-times-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
|
|
symbol.ttf -monotype-symbol-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-microsoft-symbol
|
|
wingding.ttf -microsoft-wingdings-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-microsoft-symbol
|
|
|
|
In /c/windows/fonts/fonts.dir I have exactly the same.
|
|
|
|
In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config I have
|
|
FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100"
|
|
in front of the other FontPath lines.
|
|
That's it! As an interesting by-product of course, all those web
|
|
pages which specify Arial come up in Arial in Netscape ...
|
|
=======
|
|
7. Shut down X and restart ( and debug errors you did while setting
|
|
up everything.
|
|
|
|
8. Test with e.g "xlsfont |grep arial"
|
|

Hope this helps |
