Re: font path ignorance

[Ve Telko]

Hello Ed,

I'm using Files section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Files"
        FontPath "/path/to/fonts1"
        FontPath "/path/to/fonts2"
        ...
EndSection

but xset +fp suggested by previous posters would
work the same.

Ve.

In my ~/.xsession script I have the following part to make sure all font
paths get added when I log in:

xset fp default
for font in /usr/local/share/fonts/* ; do
xset fp+ $font
done
xset fp rehash

Cheers,
Bruno

In my ~/.xinitrc I have:

xset +fp 
/usr/local/share/fonts/mscorefonts,/usr/local/share/fonts/ghostscript,/usr/local/share/fonts/extra

Allan

I think there used to be a document at openbsd.org/faq/truetype.html 
but I could't find it anymore, however here's a copy:

hope it helps

font path ignorance

[Ed Ahlsen-Girard]

Built a new system, and it didn't have all the fonts that were on the
old one. I looked for msttcorefonts as a package, and didn't find it. So
I went through ports and found it, and some other font sets that I
remembered from before, make, make build, make install.

At the end of each make install I was advised to add the new fonts to my
fontpath, but I don't know where that is lives, and apropos returns
only XSetFontPath, XFreeFontPath, XGetFontPath(3), seemingly indicating
that this is done programmatically.

There are new directories in /usr/local/share/fonts.

The new fonts do not show up in LibreOffice. I do, however, have many
noto fonts for languages that I don't need to work with very often. So
to speak.

What have I missed?
