I can't speak for NetBSD, but on OpenBSD, when you install GNU APL from
OpenBSD packages, you automatically install an additional package of
Apl333.ttf and Apl385.ttf. This works fine, and has the added benefit of
letting OpenBSD set up the fonts for you, so you can immediately be on
your way to using GNU APL without any extra setup.
If you're familiar with pkgsrc, you might consider adding the fonts
there and let pkgsrc take care of all the setup for you and everyone
else who may come to APL via pkgsrc.

Hi all,
I am now shopping for an APL font to use with X11R7 on NetBSD 9. I
have already tried the stuff from APL385.com. The procedure was as
follows:
1. Copy the font files into /usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/TTF/.
2. Execute "/usr/X11R7/bin/mkfontscale"
3. Execute "/usr/X11R7/bin/mkfontdir"
4. Execute "xset +fp /usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/TTF"
5. Execute "xset fp rehash"
6. Check with xlsfonts that the APL fonts are available.
7. Set the locale to UTF-8 by setting LC_ALL and LANG to "en_US. UTF-8".
If there is anything wrong with this, please let me know.
I do have the fonts available, but the end result look horrible and
does not display all APL chars.
So I either need another font or I am doing something wrong.
TIA. It is appreciated.
Best Regards,
