Din mailul tau se remarca faptul ca nu stii diferentele intre fonturile
folosite pe linux astfel incat te invit sa citesti in continuare o sectiune
din Release Notes-ul de la Fedora Core 1. Chestiile povestite nu sunt
caracteristice RH/FC:
o There has been some confusion regarding font-related issues under the
X Window System in recent versions of Fedora Core (and versions of Red
Hat Linux before it.) At the present time, there are two font
subsystems, each with different characteristics:
- The original (15+ year old) subsystem is referred to as the "core X
font subsystem". Fonts rendered by this subsystem are not
anti-aliased, are handled by the X server, and have names like:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
The newer font subsystem is known as "fontconfig", and allows
applications direct access to the font files. Fontconfig is often used
along with the "Xft" library, which allows applications to render
fontconfig fonts to the screen with antialiasing. Fontconfig uses more
human-friendly names like:
Luxi Sans-10
Over time, fontconfig/Xft will replace the core X font subsystem. At
the present time, applications using the Qt 3 or GTK 2 toolkits (which
would include KDE and GNOME applications) use the fontconfig and Xft
font subsystem; most everything else uses the core X fonts.
In the future, Fedora Core may support only fontconfig/Xft in place of
the XFS font server as the default local font access method.
NOTE: An exception to the font subsystem usage outlined above is
OpenOffice.org (which uses its own font rendering technology).
If you wish to add new fonts to your Fedora Core 1 system, you must be
aware that the steps necessary depend on which font subsystem is to
use the new fonts. For the core X font subsystem, you must:
1. Create the /usr/share/fonts/local/ directory (if it doesn't already
exist):
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/local/
2. Copy the new font file into /usr/share/fonts/local/
3. Update the font information by issuing the following commands (note
that, due to formatting restrictions, the following commands may
appear on more than one line; in use, each command should be entered
on a single line):
ttmkfdir -d /usr/share/fonts/local/ -o
/usr/share/fonts/local/fonts.scale
mkfontdir /usr/share/local/
4. If you had to create /usr/share/fonts/local/, you must then add it
to the X font server (xfs) path:
chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/local/
Adding new fonts to the fontconfig font subsystem is more
straightforward; the new font file only needs to be copied into the
/usr/share/fonts/ directory (individual users can modify their
personal font configuration by copying the font file into the
~/.fonts/ directory).
After the new font has been copied, use fc-cache to update the font
information cache:
fc-cache <directory>
(Where <directory> would be either the /usr/share/fonts/ or ~/.fonts/
directories.)
Individual users may also install fonts graphically, by browsing
fonts:/// in Nautilus, and dragging the new font files there.
NOTE: If the font filename ends with ".gz", it has been compressed
with gzip, and must be decompressed (with the gunzip command) before
the fontconfig font subsystem can use the font.
