Hi list, I need to help the Linux admins setting up RHEL 5.5 give me the fonts
we want.
My problem is that I don't know much about Linux + fonts. Can anyone give me
some pointers?
The more info I give them the more likely I'll get the results I'm looking for.
1) I don't know which fonts come "standard" with RHEL 5.5. Is that
listed anywhere?
2) I've asked our cartographer which fonts he wants and he says:
* CALIBRI
* ARIAL
* CAMBRIA
* GEORGIA
* TIMES NEW ROMAN
* COURIER NEW
* TREBUCHET MS
* GILL SANS MT
* VERDANA
* CENTURY GOTHIC
* CENTURY SCHOOLBOOK
* FORMATA
* FUTORAL OUTLINE SHADOW DB
* GARAMOND
* IMPACT
In Italic, bold, regular flavors. He says they are all True Type.
Are these all in one "package" that I can tell the admins to use? Such as
Microsoft Core?
3) Our cartographer also wants to ESRI True Type fonts. OK, I've got
them here as .ttf files on my PC....
But I can't just give them to the Linux admins to install can I? Or maybe I
can..
4) I've read that the fonts need to be accessible to Java - I found this
on the list:
Copy whatever you need to a path guaranteed to be read by Java, which in our
case is /opt/sun-java-1.6.0/jre/lib/fonts/
First install the fonts you want. The MS Core Fonts (Arial, Times New Roman,
Verdana etc.) can be installed by following the instructions on
http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/.
Now copy the .ttf files to /opt/sun-java-1.6.0/jre/lib/fonts/ , install
ttmkfdir and then run it:
yum install ttmkfdir
cd /opt/sun-java-1.6.0/jre/lib/fonts/
ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir
So, maybe the ESRI .ttf files can be installed this way, if they are copied to
/opt/sun-java-1.6.0/jre/lib/fonts/ and ttmkfdir is run?
Are the corefonts.sourceforge.net instructions OK for RHEL 5.5?
(By the way, we were told by ESRI that RHEL 5.5 is the supported version for
SDE 10 and Oracle 11.2g R2.)
