Hi again,
Sorry, but I seem to have deleted the answer given to my question about
having newly installed fonts available at startup.
My question was:
> I installed new fonts recently in /usr/X11R6/bin/X11/fonts. What
> should I do to make the fonts available when I start my PC? Do I
> need to include the xset command in some configuration file?
I tried to add the font paths to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, so the file now
looks like this:
<begin>
# File generated by XFdrake.
# **********************************************************************
# Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of
# this file.
# **********************************************************************
Section "Files"
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated
together)
# By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server
independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:-1"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/freefont"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/sharefont"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/URW"
EndSection
etc....
<end>
It doesn't work (I tested it by trying the text tool in Gimp). Did I
make the entry wrong?
I read something about adding to file /etc/rc.d/rc.local but I couldn't
figure out what should be added there and why. Could this be the
solution?
Any suggestions are most welcome.
Marco
