Does the dir /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/ exist? If not you have to install: x11-fonts/bitstream-vera and follow the instructions to change your xorg.conf and then restart X. If it exists, you have to add the dir to xorg.conf like so: FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/ under the Files section. Restart X. X should read ~/.Xdefaults on start up your font will be used for aterm. xlsfonts should also now list the bitstream vera fonts. Regards, Thanks a lot, it works. There is no font path in the xorg.conf, and after I add them in, it comes out. Another thing is, it did not recognize the \ to space, the will work. The font line I am using is: Aterm*font: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1 Though the font seems a little bigger than I suppose, anyway, it works. Hi Kemian, I'm glad you got it working. To change the size of the font, you want to change the the first 0 in the line to the font size you require in pixels. E.g: I use: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--16-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-15 for a 16px font. I like it big! You can test it beforehand by using xfd (in ports if not already installed) i.e: $ xfd -fn -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono\ -medium-r-normal--16-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-15 Use iso8859-15 if you want € (the euro) in your character set. Sorry for replying later due to lot of work these days. No worries. I assumed you'd got it to work. -- Best wishes, Kemian Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html -- Best wishes, Kemian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
