|
|
A graphical text font for X11 and the Linux console
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
How can I use the new graphical font under the Linux text console?
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Simply start your program with the parameter `--newfont`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How can I use the new graphical font under X11?
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The use of the new graphical font under X11 is only possible with
|
|
the terminal emulators xterm or urxvt, because only these terminal
|
|
emulators can change the font by using an escape sequence.
|
|
For an xterm, the "Allow Font Ops" option must be set.
|
|
|
|
Install the gzip compressed X11 pcf bitmap font 8x16graph.pcf.gz on your xserver:
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Create as user root the font directory
|
|
|
|
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/finalcut/
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Copy the files 8x16graph.pcf.gz, fonts.dir and fonts.alias
|
|
into the just created directory
|
|
|
|
cp 8x16graph.pcf.gz fonts.dir fonts.alias /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/finalcut/
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Add the new dir to X font path
|
|
|
|
xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/finalcut/
|
|
|
|
(You can insert this command into the ~/.xinitrc to make the
|
|
font path permanently usable)
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Check if the font is available to the xserver
|
|
|
|
xlsfonts | grep 8x16graph
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Start your program with the parameter --newfont
|
|
|
|
ui --newfont
|
|
