Hi, Monotype fonts that are listed in the /usr/dt/config/xfonts/en_US.UTF-8/font.aliases file are from the microsoft core true type fonts package, which must be installed and correctly added to X Server font path. Usually it is installed in some directory under /usr/share/fonts (depending on distribution).
This fonts.aliases file has a bug, which has been discovered some time ago on this list by Tomasz Konojacki : the config does not seem work on most modern systems because it specifies font weights that do not exist on most systems: 'demibold' instead of 'bold' and 'semilight' instead of 'regular'. Since then I've written a dtksh script that generates font.aliases correctly for ms core fonts and additionally supports generating fonts.alias that uses other font families (dejavu and gnu freefont). It would be great if you could test that if works on your system. The script attached is to this mail. It expects name of font family as first argument (run it w/o arguments to get list of possibilities) and writes the generated file on standard output. Regarding fixing the font.aliases file that is provided with CDE - I'm not sure how to proceed with it: Or simply fix the current file so it will works for most people and place the generation script into the contrib for those who want custimization, or, alternatively, integrate it's generation into the build, thus letting to select font family and supported codepages at build time. -- Regards, Eugene mailto:dudi...@gmail.com On Fri, 05 Feb 2016 17:11:42 +0200 Antonis Tsolomitis <antonis.tsolomi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi.
