Shouldn't this be done at installation? That can only be done per-session. Also, you have to be in an X-session for it to work. And it'll do bugger-all once you restart. -- /PA -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] where is the unifont?
I have installed the unifont package but it doesn't show with xlsfonts nor xfontsel, nor does an xterm find the font string. I tried the commands mkfontsdir and xset fp rehash. What am I missing? I think this ought to do the job: xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/unifont (?followed by xset fp rehash?) I'm not very knowledgeable in this however. Just a guess. -rz -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
