 Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2002 1:54 am Post subject: Artwiz fonts && Fluxbox slits/bbpager |
 |
|
Hia all, i tried to install the artwiz fonts, but i dont seem to have chkfontpath installed, what package do i need to emerge to get it ?
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
tar xzf /path/to/artwiz-fonts-ao.tgz
cd artwiz-fonts
mkfontdir
chkfontpath -q -a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz-fonts:unscaled
Also, ive run E for long time, but i really like Fluxbox so im thinking of switching over to it, i have one question on the slits and bbpager though, how can i change the apperence of (skin) of bbpager, and how can i make it remeber its x,y chords ?? when i start it always dock in the left/down corner (i want it down/right), oh ya, how can i change the mouseclick on it, right now it only responds on my button3 on the mouse, i want it on button 1
Thnx

ad 1. As I learned today in another thread:
ln -s ~/.fluxbox/init ~/.blackboxrc
ad 2. I just installed bbpager and have the exact same questions... |

I just did:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
tar xzf /path/to/artwiz-fonts-ao.tgz
cd artwiz-fonts
mkfontdir
nano -w /etc/X11/XF86Config (add the artwiz fonts dir here)
startx (re-start fluxbox)

Worked for me. |

This is how I did
mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz-fonts
unpacked all the fonts into that folder
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz-fonts
mkfontdir
Added /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz-fonts:unscaled i
n my /etc/X11/XF86Config down by the FontPath section.
And then restarted.
Worked for me

If you're trying it as root, you may have to do a
...I think it hides in /usr/X11/bin/ or something like that, some path that isn't in root's default paths. If you're trying it as a regular user and you still don't see it, uhm, that's not good  It should be a regular part of your XFree build, but if you don't have it you can always emerge RPM and grab an RPM of it, if you're desperate.
And just from my experience: make sure you actually try a fluxbox/blackbox theme that uses the artwiz fonts before you decide that they aren't working.. I was just checking for them in xfontsel and the GNOME font chooser and they don't show up  |

| chkfontpath is not really necessary. You should be able to find it using the method above (whereis chkfontpath), but yeah it should work without it. |

You want chkfontpath? I got yer chkfontpath RIGHT HERE:
| Code: |
emerge rpm
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.1/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/chkfontpath-1.9.5-1.i386.rpm
rpm -i --force --nodeps chkfontpath-1.9.5-1.i386.rpm
|
...that's the evil way of getting chkfontpath. But damnit, it works  |

/usr/share/bbtools/bbpager.bb is the bbpager conf file.
the only problem I had is, its copying things from the toolbar configuration and I couldnt find a way to make it stop doing that (ie my toolbar is using a gradient texture, but I want bbpager to be plain flat...) . also I couldnt set the border width between the desktops.
anyway, for those interessted, heres my bbpager conf :
| Code: |
bbpager.position: +0-0
bbpager.desktop.width: 44
bbpager.desktop.height: 33
bbpager.columns: 1
bbpager.rows: 1
bbpager.raised: True
bbpager.window.focusStyle: texture
bbpager.desktop.focusStyle: border
bbpager.desktop.focus: Flat
bbpager.desktop.focus.color: darkslategrey
bbpager.bevelWidth: 0
bbpager.frame: Flat
bbpager.frame.color: slategrey
bbpager.desktop: Flat
bbpager.desktop.color: slategrey
bbpager.window: Flat
bbpager.window.color: slategrey
bbpager.window.focus: Flat
bbpager.window.focus.color: rgb:c/9/6
bbpager.active.window.borderColor: grey
bbpager.inactive.window.borderColor: black
bbpager.active.desktop.borderColor: slategrey
|
goes nice with my modified-to-be-super-flat blues theme.
