Thank you for this. Now I realized why I was the only person
not complaining about how CDE font look:)
I have Sun Java JDK installed (1.6.0 from ports) and I have this:
FontPath "/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/fonts/"
FontPath "/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/oblique-fonts/"
in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
with this present, TrueType Lucida Sans becomes available for
" -b&h-lucidasans-*" and CDE looks much, much better.
I would recommend anyone who has Java installed to try
that setup - just add the line above (or similar) to
your Xorg.conf and
sudo cp cde/programs/fontaliases/freebsd/C/fonts.alias
/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C/
I was also wondering why Linux choose -b&h-lucidabright-
which is a serif font.
I'll try to check if the Lucida font can be distributed
separately and be used as dependency; it really makes a difference.
