Hi,
I am using Solaris 10 for x86 10/08. I use the JDS(Java Desktop System).
I would like to use a particular .ttf font for my gnome-terminal, but I am
not able to do it. I have the font file (.ttf) with me. But I dont know as
to how to achieve this task. I made the following attempts:
a) I created a .fonts directory in my $HOME directory and put the font file.
I was told that JDS will pick up the font automatically and we have to
select that font from the gnome terminal. When I open the fonts menu under
Edit->Profiles in gnome terminal, I am unable to see my font in the list.
b) I tried to use few commands like "xset fp+
<directory-where-font-present>" and "xset fp rehash", but in vain again.
c) I tried to use ttmkfdir, mkfontdir tools, but could not get through.
I request you to kindly give me a step-by-step procedure to add my .ttf
font to the system and use it in the gnome-terminal. I have been struggling
to get this and I would be very very thankful to you for your suggestions.
Regards,
Sreeram
