Fonts ----- The fonts in the default theme (winter) and core themes (BlueSteel, BrushedMetal-Tigert, Ganymede, and ShinyMetal) are configured (indirectly) in fonts.cfg. Directory search order is (typically): ~/.e16, <theme-dir>, and /usr/share/e16/config/fonts.cfg). Other themes are likely to have font references more or less scattered around in TextClass definitions in the theme configuration files. There are three different ways to specify a font: 1) "<font name>/<size>", e.g. "Vera/8". In this case e16 must be able to find "Vera.ttf" in its TrueType font path. The e16 default TrueType font path is <theme dir>/ttfont, additional paths may be given via the theme.ttfont_path configuration setting. 2) XLFD font sets, e.g. "-*-lucida-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-gulim*-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-*-*-*-*-ksc5601.1987-*". xfontsel, xlsfonts, and xfd can be used to select and show these fonts. 3) Fontconfig font names, e.g. "Luxi Sans-10:bold". fc-list and xfd can be used to select and show these fonts. NB! This possibility (Xft support) was added after the 0.16.8.4 release. Like it says, Xft support was just added and may not be 100% sane/solid. Please let me know if you find problems with it. /Kim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
