updating one's font path .. & adding a man to manuals
Hi everyone !
I'm sorry again to ask such a newbie question .. seems everlasting .. When I install/compile new fonts , there is a post-install message that come afterwards & I seem to always miss the tweak : Code:
You may wish to update your font path for /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/ubuntu a similar situation when I install some package and as there is a resulting new man for that package .. I'm asked ro add the related manual to local manuals .. Last edited by daemonfowl; 4th August 2012 at 01:01 AM. Reason: grammar |

Hi IdOp ! Thanks , do you mean :
Code:
xset +fp /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/ubuntu xset fp rehash Last edited by daemonfowl; 4th August 2012 at 08:19 PM. Reason: typo |

Thanks you IdOp !
I never had to configure X on this box so I don't have any resulting xorg.conf file .. the .xinitrc way seems working as I can see newly installed fonts in firefox' fonts preferences .. :-) |
|
|||
If I put those xset statements in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc instead of my ./xinitrc would it be adequate ?
( & I still don't know how to make use of xset/mkfontdir/ .. etc in situations like when I wanna add some foreign fonts that are not included in ports .. ) |

Most fonts are automatically updated. You can check in an application that allows you to select fonts like firefox > edit > preferences. Alternatively you can see the loaded fonts in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
If your newly installed fonts do not show up you can make an entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d as described here Be advised that the font paths in OpenBSD are different - copying and pasting the entry from the Slitaz Linux page will not work. Last edited by shep; 5th August 2012 at 11:50 PM. |
