Font initialization?
Hi folks, I have an application that needs some non-standard fonts. It's easy enough to add a manually new directory to the font path. What I haven't figured out is how to configure Cygwin/X to add the new font path directory when it starts up. Thanks for any help -Ken -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

You can always set the xterm title by sending it the string: Esc ] 0 ;
your title ^G . You can do it from the xterm application (writing to
/dev/tty or stdout if its connected, or externally, by writing to
/dev/ttyn [Cygwin] or /dev/pts/n [Linux]).
Bellow is a small script that update the title if it is run on an
interactive xterm (the 2nd is a tty emulator written here).

Re: How to add a title to xterm
Here is a script that works in bash or ksh for setting the title based on
your current path, by setting up $PS1. I have also seen similar thing done
by aliasing cd command
I use bash mostly, but for ksh there is need for Perl in my script below to
accomplish the passing of ESC characters to ksh. I could not figure out how
to do it with awk
-Robert
case `echo _$0 | /usr/bin/tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed -e 's/^_//'`
in
#
bash | -bash | */bash )
#
echo ...running bash
HOSTNAME=`hostname`; export HOSTNAME # Set a HOSTNAME variable
#
# 29=white,30=black,31=red,32=green,33=yellow, 34=blue,35=magenta,36=cyan
#
# Set a default prompt of: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and current_directory
#PS1='\[\e]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ '
#PS1='\[\e]0;$HOSTNAME: $PWD\a\]\[\e[36m\]$PWD\[\e[0m\] '# (in
title) HOST-$PWD ... $PATH
PS1='\[\e]0;$ME: $PWD\a\]$PWD '# (in title) HOST-$PWD ... $PATH

Re: Font initialization?
Thanks Igor, I figured that out from the man pages. What I haven't figured out is where I can put that xset +fp where it will be automatically executed at cygwin/X startup. -Ken On Wednesday 07 December 2005 07:54, Igor Pechtchanski wrote: On Wed, 7 Dec 2005, Kenneth Corbin wrote: Hi folks, I have an application that needs some non-standard fonts.
