Summary: This is a query on the correct procedure to install a new font Keywords: Fonts X Message-ID: <5896@hub.ucsb.edu> Date: 6 Jul 90 02:20:57 GMT Sender: news@hub.ucsb.edu Organization: CCSE, Univ. of CA, Santa Barbara Lines: 26 I have just obtained the marumoji fonts, and am trying to install them on my DECstation 3100. Perhaps I'm being dense and having _perused_ TFM, but here's what I've tried: a. Installed font file "maru14.bdf" in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/local. b. Ran "dxfc" on "maru14.bdf" to make "maru14.pcf" c. Ran "dxmkfontdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/local" to build "fonts.dir" with the new maru14.pcf in it; it seemed to work. d. Verified that /usr/lib/X11/fonts/local is in the font path, by querying with "xset -q". e. Set the font path, just in case the "fonts.dir" files are read only once, when the path is first set. f. Queried again to be sure I didn't trip over something. However, "xlsfonts" doesn't seem to find the fonts. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
