 Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2006 6:35 pm Post subject: How do I install Xorg fonts that aren't in portage? |
 |
|
I kinda like the fonts from proggyfonts.com, and I downloaded one, and now I have no idea where to put it in order to get it to show up in xemacs. It seems like it should be a rather simple thing to do, but I can't find anything on how to do it. I think I'm probably missing something obvious.... 
Thanks in advance.

I dunno how you make fonts show up in xemacs, but afaik you can install fonts by putting them in ~/.fonts (or whatever folder you want), after which you have to make sure that folder is included in /etc/fonts/local.conf (and perhaps in the xorg.conf) and run
to update the font cache.
Not really sure, though, as this isn't something I've done myself.
[edit]
I believe xemacs fonts can be configured via .Xdefaults, but this is also something I haven't tried.

Could anyone help me out here please 
Additionally, how would I use these fonts in my term? Is it just plain *font or *faceName ? What's the name of the font etc.
A general overview would be nice.
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Stay far away from this page. 
The font server is for sharing fonts over a network.

I only use xterm an urxvt. faceName for xterm and .font for urxvt works. fc-list will give you a good idea of what font names to use.
Sorry Devrethman, no idea about xemacs. |

I got it.
I just copied them into /usr/share/fonts/misc there I did
| Code: | | # mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/misc |
and then I altered the font.aliases in this directory, now I just use XTerm*font: proggyclean or whatever is to you likeness.
