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
