Re: To enable TrueType fonts on uxterm by default
Thank you all! For me font size 13 is the better balance between visibility and space-efficiency. Otherwise everything works like a charm!

To enable TrueType fonts on uxterm by default
Hi, When I hold Ctrl and right click on uxterm, a menu shows up, where I can click to enable TrueType fonts. I would like to enable TrueType fonts by default. I guess I could do it by setting it up in ~/.Xresources and use xrdb to merge it. However, I do not know which TrueType font(s) uxterm used, when I manually Ctrl + Right Click to enable it. Or, is there an option in a config file where I just ask uxterm to use TrueType and let uxterm to decide which TrueType font to use? Yours sincerely, Xianwen

Hello, * Siard wrote on 2013-12-10 at 18:56 (+0100): besides the hints you got from Siard and Patrick, I recommend GNOME Character Map, package gucharmap, for examining and viewing fonts.

To get all the customization possibilities, take a look at the fontconfig machinery and the packages fontconfig and fontconfig-config which are almost certainly installed as you use XFCE. Also, fonts-conf(5) contains an example user configuration file ~/.fonts.conf, so that your font files (.ttf, .otf) may remain in their original directories and need not to be mixed together in *one* of the directories mentioned above by Siard.

For short: Don't run fc-cache as normal user. You don't want to have in ~/.fontconfig a mixture of cache files for all the system font directories /usr/share/fonts/* with those for the user font directories specified in your ~/.fonts.conf. The former ones are located in /var/cache/fontconfig (you don't have write permissions for it) and are handled by the package management hooks. You can simply remove ~/.fontconfig completely and let it rebuild automatically. To initiate this rebuild just now, run, e.g. fc-list.

I do not know XFCE, but I guess you can configure it to open ttf's with gnome-font-viewer.

Installing additional truetype fonts in Lenny fails partially (Iceweasel problem)
Hi, I try to install some additional truetype fonts in Lenny AMD64. Everything seems fine but specifying antialiasing rules in /etc/fonts/local.conf for those fonts won't work. I copied some Windows fonts to a newly created folder /usr/share/fonts/truetype/windows/ (Tahoma and Lucida Console). Then I added to /etc/fonts/local.conf: (I also tried ~/.fonts/ and ~/.fonts.config) -- match target=pattern name=family test qual=any name=family stringtahoma/string /test test name=size compare=more double8/double /test test name=size compare=less double16/double /test edit name=antialias mode=assign boolfalse/bool /edit /match -- I tested a simple webpage in Iceweasel and this rule gets applied to all fonts in Iceweasel. When I use arial instead of tahoma for example it works as intended. As soon as I use Tahoma to specify the font it won't work. What do I have to do in order to install Tahoma properly so I can use the above rule please? I tried all the Debian font install how-to's I found already.

Re: truetype fonts in x11, wrong metrics?
On Mon, 30 Apr 2007 09:38:22 +0200 BALLABIO GERARDO [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I've recently switched from Sarge to Etch (I've decided to do a reinstall, not an upgrade, because I also wanted to repartition the hard disk) and in the last few days I've been restoring my customizations. I've run into a problem with fonts. In Sarge I had configured Emacs to use the same font as the Gnome Terminal, and I want to do the same thing in Etch. The font family Gnome is using is DejaVu (package ttf-dejavu). As this is a TrueType font, it isn't immediately available from Emacs: it has to be registered first as an X11 font. I had been able to do that in Sarge by following directions from this page: http://www.paulandlesley.org/linux/xfree4_tt.html (specifically, section 4.2) and tried to do the same in Etch. Basically the procedure is: 1. go to the directory where the TrueType fonts are stored (that is /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu) 2. run ttmkfdir (creates fonts.scale) 3. run mkfontdir (creates fonts.dir) 4. in /etc/X11/xorg.conf add the following line to Section Files: FontPath /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu 5. restart the X server (of course must be done as root) The x-ttcidfont-conf package takes care of the registration of truetype fonts for you. So this worked in Etch too: after the procedure, xlsfonts | grep dejavu shows quite a lot of fonts. The one I want seems to be -misc-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-normal--15-150-75-75-m-0-iso10646-1 (in the Gnome font panel it's listed as Monospace, 12 pt). But strangely, when I run Emacs with this font, the text window isn't dimensioned correctly: it should be 80 characters wide, but only 72 fit within. There's also some extra spacing between lines. See attached screenshot: the Gnome Terminal window shows what it should look like. Are you sure that the screen width is not an Emacs setting, rather than a font issue? What width do you get if you switch to a non-truetype font? I guess that Emacs doesn't get the font metrics correctly. I don't know which I should blame -- the font files, Emacs or X-Windows. Anyway, does anyone know what I could do to fix this? From your screenshot, I see that Emacs (or is it xemacs?) is a GTK1 application. gnome-terminal is a GTK2 application. The former gets its idea of screen resolution directly from the X server, whereas the latter uses the X resource database. Compare the output of the following two commands: xdpyinfo | grep resol xrdb -q | grep dpi Are the DPI values different? Please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed. Thanks everybody Gerardo -- Liam

I checked my apps running under Gnome, and at least some of the truetype fonts have become available (those from: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ but not from /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera), but I can't say what exactly led them the become available. I trieddpkg-reconfigure fontconfigas suggested by Rage, and also fc-cache -fv as suggested by Liam Some confusion arose (a continual state for me since I am new to Linux - there are surprises almost everywhere - most of the type.now why did THAT happen???), since the fonts are NOT shown explicitly as truetype fonts in the font selection dialogue of the applications - they are only identified by name, so you must know somehow by name that they are in fact truetype. One rather nice feature of the Gnome desktop (V 2.8 ) is that all available fonts can be sampled in a very nice manner. Follow below: ApplicationsDesktop PreferencesFont Choose the Help button on the lower left corner to open the font Help page. Scroll down to the bottom of Help (Section 11.6.2) for an explanation how to use the file manager/browser to examine installed fonts. Open the Gnome file manager/browser and clear the location field (the one that points to various file locations). Type in fonts:/// and there, in blazing glory, are all the available fonts. The specific location of the each font in the file system is not shown, and I have not been able to determine why some have a lock symbol on them, but there they are. Neat! Font management in Debian Sarge is still a complete mystery to me, with various command line commands doing whatever (and exactly what does the gui tool Defontmgr do, anyway???), but maybe in Etch and updated Gnome the situation has been improved. I'll wait until Etch becomes the stable Debian release to find out. Meanwhile, Gnome is proving to be a productive and pleasant GUI for my purposes. My thanks to the development team.

Please help with truetype fonts or any fonts for that matter
Hi everyone. I've installed truetype fonts via xfstt font server. I've copied some custom ttf fonts ( not microsoft's core, but those from different web site there ) to /usr/share/fonts/truetype and font server picked them up. I do see those fonts in xfontsel. And mozilla is able to display them (and it looks nice in mozilla). However, there is a problem with fluxbox. These fonts for some reason look kinda ugly on menu and toolbars and on window labels. As if i was using fonts provided by xfree86. When i turn on anti-aliasing (and please tell me if it makes sense to do so with truetype fonts??? cause i'am confused), fluxbox doesn't display them. They suddenly change to some other font (i guess some standard font) wich actually looks nice. So my question is: how to make these truetyoe fonts look nice in fluxbox. Do i have to enable anti-aliasing somewhere in configuration files or what? Also, i like artwiz fonts. But they look very small in terminals (particulary snap, egdes and anorexia). I know that they are bitmap fonts, and that there is no way to increase the size.

Preferred way of adding truetype fonts in debian?
I'm seeing tons of information regarding this issue on the net and it's difficult to tell what is current and what is deprecated information and what is best to do on a Debian system. Could you help me out? I have a windows partition available with the appropriate ttf files but I am not sure what the preferred debian way of installing them is. I have defoma installed, as well as msttcorefonts. I just now saw that the KDE tool KFontView has an option to install fonts. Will that make fonts available only to KDE? How should I do?

truetype fonts in Mozilla - only good when page is UTF-8, bad otherwise
I use latest Debian unstable, GNU/Linux system. I would like to use only truetype fonts for webpages in my Mozilla browser, because the PCF fonts look ugly. These are the only packages that have anything to do with fonts, that I have installed: defoma fontconfig gsfonts gsfonts-x11 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libt1-5 libxft1 libxft2 ttf-arphic-gkai00mp ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-freefont ttf-kochi-mincho xfonts-base I deliberately did not install xfonts-100dpi or xfonts-75dpi becasue I do not want to use these fonts at all. When I view a page which uses UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 or US-ASCII encoding, truetype fonts are used, and it looks beautiful. However if a page uses ISO-8859-2 or some other encoding, then fonts are ugly, I suspect that fonts from the gsfonts package are used. I would remove the gsfonts package, but xpdf depends on it. Is there some other PDF reader that can use only truetype fonts to view PDFs, so I can remove gsfonts? The package gsfonts-x11 is Make Ghostscript fonts available to X11 so I suspect that removing that might fix the problem, but j2re1.4 depends on it! Anyway, what is the proper way to resolve this problem? -- Miernik _ xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___/__ tel: +427 __/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.miernik.ctnet.pl/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I know it's boring, but I do have one another question / problem with fonts, specially truetype fonts. I've seen some recent threads about fonts, I've read this (http://egads.ertius.org/~rob/font_guide.txt) howto, but it does not help ;(. Long story short: truetype fonts does not seem to work with X and gtk1. They works fine under KDE3, gtk2, OpenOffice, ... . I do have x-ttcidfont-conf and defoma installed and correct paths set as suggested by Rob's font_guide. I also have msttcorefonts, but xfontsel does not show foundry microsoft and those fonts are not available to gtk1 apps (gtkfontsel, switch). Does /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 mention the x-ttcidfont-conf directory? Or wherever the truetype fonts are installed. Are you loading either the freetype or xtt modules in the XF86Config-4? Does the true type fonts dir have a fonts.dir and fonts.scale? For the X font server to find the fonts it needs those files. If you need to create them look at mkttfdir and ttmkfdir in the fttools and ttmkfdir packages respectively. One make the fonts.dir file and claims no fonts.scale file is needed for the xtt extension and the other makes the fonts.scale file.

TrueType fonts and X
Hi! I know it's boring, but I do have one another question / problem with fonts, specially truetype fonts. I've seen some recent threads about fonts, I've read this (http://egads.ertius.org/~rob/font_guide.txt) howto, but it does not help ;(. Long story short: truetype fonts does not seem to work with X and gtk1. They works fine under KDE3, gtk2, OpenOffice, ... . I do have x-ttcidfont-conf and defoma installed and correct paths set as suggested by Rob's font_guide. I also have msttcorefonts, but xfontsel does not show foundry microsoft and those fonts are not available to gtk1 apps (gtkfontsel, switch).

Definitive HOWTO use truetype fonts on a Network
I've been GOOGLING for a while - but so far I haven't found a definitive answer. I'm hoping someone can set the record straight here - and maybe we can get a mini-FAQ posted later on. Given a (in my opinion) typical networked Debian environment: One or more workstations, each running it's own X-server. Workstation software includes Ghostscript and OpenOffice.Org. A desired central repository of fonts. What's the best way to do this? It seems to me using a central XFS type font server provides the most efficient X-server displays - but then these fonts appear unavailable to OpenOffice. So either I'm not using it correctly (which is the typical situation) or in fact there are applications (such as OpenOffice) that require direct file access to the fonts and will not work wih a font server. If that is the case - then it seems my only option for a central repository is one or more shared directories. And therefore, there is no reason to run any of the font servers, since the XFree86 4.2+ which I'm running has truetype support - or is there? Please educate this poor Linux noobie.

Correct, because OpenOffice couldn't care less about your X fonts, and uses fontconfig, which requires a local font repository (I presume you could mount one via NFS... that would get interesting). XFS will work fine for sharing X fonts to applications that don't support fontconfig. I imagine that any local Xft1-using applications will happily use it as well. It's the Xft2 applications you're going to have a problem with. -- Marc Wilson | Everyone is entitled to an *informed* opinion.

Problem with Fontconfig and TrueType Fonts in Unstable?
Hi, I'm writing with a question that I believe concerns fontconfig in unstable. I've searched every combination of keywords in Google and Google Groups that I can think of, but haven't found anything that can help me. Here's my situation: I've tried to insert endashes, emdashes, curly quotes and other punctuation using Insert Special Character... in KWord, and they show up as empty boxes (regular characters are fine). Other programs such as OpenOffice work fine. Here's a summary of the various systems on which I've tried this: Woody + KDE 3.1 + KWord 1.2.1 (both KDE and KWord from debs on KDE web site) xfree86: 4.1.0-16woody1 (using the built-in TrueType handling) KDE packages: 4:3.1.3-0woody1 KWord: 1:1.2.1-0woody1 OpenOffice 1.1.0 Result: I can find and insert these characters in KDE and in OpenOffice. Testing + enough Unstable to run KDE 3.1 from the official Debian debs xfree86: 4.2.1.2 fontconfig: 2.2.1-1 KDE packages: 4:3.1.3-1 KWord: 1:1.2.92-1 OpenOffice: 1.0.? Result: KDE programs can't find the special characters, but OpenOffice can. Knoppix 3.3 xfree86: 4.3.? fontconfig: 2.2.? KDE, KWord, OpenOffice: same as above Result: KDE programs can't find the special characters, but OpenOffice can. Here's a longer explanation: On my computer running Woody, KDE 3 and KWord 1.2.1 (both from the debs at the KDE web site), I find the special punctuation characters for the Times New Roman TrueType font (and other TrueType fonts as well) on Table 32 in the Select Character dialog box in KWord. I think they have codes like x2013, x2014, etc. The same kind of thing works in OpenOffice.org and other applications. However, on my computer running a mixture of testing and unstable, which is running KWord 1.2.92 from the official Debian unstable, the same characters show up as empty squares on Table 32 of the Select Character dialog box. I can insert the empty squares, and when I print a document, the correct characters appear, but with the wrong spacing. OpenOffice has no problem inserting the characters or printing them correctly. In fact, I can cut an emdash from my OpenOffice document and paste it into my KWord document, and it will display and print correctly in KWord. But, if I try to copy the same character from one point to another inside my KWord document, the copy appears again as a blank square. I have the same problem running Knoppix 3.3, which also has KWord 1.2.92 and OpenOffice. Here's what I think might be going on: It appears to me that there is some problem with how fontconfig (version 2.2.1-3) in unstable recognizes characters in TrueType fonts. The big difference between KWord and OpenOffice seems to be how they get their font information from X. In Knoppix 3.3, KWord and other KDE applications appear to use fontconfig and Xft to get their font information, while OpenOffice seems to use the built-in TrueType handling in X. The same appears to be true in my testing/unstable mixed installation, except that my testing/unstable installation runs xfree86 4.2, which I don't believe relies on Xft. On the other hand, there is no fontconfig in my Woody installation, and it works fine. That's why I think it's a problem with fontconfig. So, at this point, I'm stuck. Is there anyone out there who has encountered this problem, or---better yet---has a solution? I'd really like to be able to put the correct symbols in my document, and KWord 1.2.92 seems to be the only open source software that has the combination of features I need to do my project. Thanks!

TrueType fonts (again)
Dear All, I know the issue of TrueType fonts has been covered many times before, but I looked in the archives and didn't find the solution to my specific problem. Which is: I upgraded to Sid. Mozilla, which previously had bitmapped fonts, now has TrueType fonts - apt-get dist-upgrade seems to have handled this automagically . That's great, but Konqueror, Kmail, and Sylpheed (among others) are still stuck in bitmap mode. I tried installing a Chinese TrueType font (I use Chinese occasionally) from Sid, and Mozilla recognized it without a hitch. Again, the other apps mentioned above did not. I'm perplexed as to why some apps would recognize the fonts while others will not. Sometime to do with the fontpath perhaps? But how to correct it?
