I myself have not read the article yet since I just
stumbled upon it abou 10 minutes ago. Plenty of other
news too at www.theregus.com but that's beside the
point. Good luck.

Re: [Eug-lug]X fonts

2002-10-31 Thread Cory Petkovsek 
MRO, I don't think you read what I wrote, either.

I had an X environment with fonts that were adequate.  My XF86Config-4
looked like this:

Section Files
RgbPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb
ModulePath  /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/
FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/
FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/
FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/
EndSection

I installed Abiword and it told me load a specific module:
Section Module
...
Load  type1
EndSection

I also moved the 100dpi line above the 75dpi line.  This caused all of
my fonts that normally would be rendered at 75dpi to use some ugly and
larger 100dpi fonts.  I tried removing all of the fontpath lines and it
did restore my settings, however I discovered X has a default font path
with 75dpi before 100dpi.  I've now reconfigured both my xfs(x font
server) and the XF86Config file to support all of these fonts with 75dpi
first.  Next I setup an xfstt font server with some truetype fonts.  Now
I can view among other things, websites that are windows-centric
specifying windows fonts.
