Re: Adding fonts
It's a little more work, but it might be better to add the Windows fonts directory to the X font path. Then you only store the actual fonts in one place on disk, and all the system TTF fonts are available to X. You'd need to create the X11 font management metafiles in the system fonts dir, but Windows will just ignore them. You'd also need to update them whenever you add new fonts . . . or schedule a job to check periodically. On 8/21/07, S James S Stapleton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes.

Re: Adding fonts
Yes. It's as easy as: cp /path/to/original.font /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/[fonttype]/ where you replace [fonttype] with the type of font you want ex. copy all windows ttf fonts over: $ cp /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Fonts/*.[tT][tT][fF] /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf/ Caveat: You might run into problems, depending on if you are running in dos or unix line mode, I can't remember...

Problem with adding fonts
Hello! I have one HP-UX system and tried to test X-tunneling and GUI with Cygwin. Now I met a problem with fonts. I couldn't find any suitable answers from FAQ or User's Guide. I have untarred HP_roman8 fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hp_roman8 folder and updated them $ /usr/X11R6/bin/font-update /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi is up-todate. skipping /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi is up-todate. skipping /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc is up-todate. skipping /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID is up-todate. skipping /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF is up-todate. skipping /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 is up-todate. skipping /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic is up-todate. skipping /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local is not a directory. skipping /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hp_roman8 is up-todate. skipping When I start X I don't have those hp_roman8 fonts: - clip - $ startx Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.2.0-4 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information (==) FontPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/,/usr/X11R6 /lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/f onts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" - end clip I tried also drive that setup again and reinstalled those fonts witch were available (HP_roman8 is not), with no success. Question is that, how can I really update fontserver? Or restart X so that it really sets those fonts. Or is there some file witch consist that FontPath?

Adding Fonts?
I couldn't find info in the FAQ or User's Guide on adding fonts. Did I overlook it somewhere? I want to make my Windows fonts available under X. I copied all of the ttf files to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype and created fonts.scale and fonts.dir files using "ttmkfdir > fonts.scale" and mkfontdir. Then I ran fc-cache. Is there something else I need to do? When I run 'xset -q' I don't see the new font path listed. Thanks Tony Richardson
