x11-common conflicts with xfs-xtt (<= 1.4.1.xf430-6)
Hello, If I try to upgrade x11-common in Debian Sid, I get this message: x11-common conflicts with xfs-xtt (<= 1.4.1.xf430-6) and xfs-xtt is to be removed. I was wondering, is this something that is going to be resolved with a newer version of xfs-xtt or must xfs-xtt be removed to upgrade x11-common? x11-common newer version is: Inst x11-common [1:7.0.14] (1:7.0.16 Debian:unstable) thanks, ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: xfs-xtt
Ok, I ended up downloading the xfs-xtt package and re-installing it with dpkg, then removing it with apt. dpkg complained when I reinstalled that the old files were bad, but it overwrote them safely. Now my fonts are back to normal, so I guess it was xfs-xtt that was causing the trouble. I'll probably go through the list of bad files in /var/lib/dpkg/info and re-install all of them. I don't know how they went bad: I'm running ext3, and periodically check the whole filesystem, and its never complained...

RE: xfs+xfstt or xfs-xtt
I ve done this change a few weeks ago. Both worked fine for me. I believe that (xfs + xfstt) use less memory than xfs-xtt, right now on my system RSS of xfs-xtt is ~3.5K but this seems to depend on configuration and usage (how many TTF requests from your apps) Main advantages for me: - I can use font aliases now for the TTFs (i need that to properly display greek sites in Netscape) - A little better rendering (maybe just my imagination, dont count on this) Difficulties: Not many, although documentation of xfs-xtt seems a little scary at first glance. I just wrote a "fonts.dir" by hand with entries like: arial.ttf -ttf-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 I made also a relevant "fonts.alias" put them together with all TTFs in a directory Then add the directory name in xfs catalogue (/etc/X11/xfs/config) and restart xfs. I still dont fully understand the dpi-relevant options of the story currently i have to add a -dpi 100 in my startx command to see TTFs a little bigger on my screen. mit freundlichen Grussen :)) from Athens-Greece On 13-Aug-2000 Jan Ulrich Hasecke wrote: > Hi! > > I am currently running xfs + xfstt on Potato with xserver-i128.

Okay, this is of the top of my head, because I don't have Linux at work. The X server can get his fonts from a directory or over a network connection. So the "fp+" tells the X-Server to look for fonts in an additional location and the "unix/:7101" tells him where to look. I think you have to issue that command as root, after starting X. So to try out xfstt, do the following in a xterm: xfstt & <-- start xfstt in the background <-- wait a couple of seconds xset fp+ unix/:7101 <-- add the new fontpath After that you should have true type fonts until you end your current X session. If you like xfstt, you can automate that job, by installing an init script that starts xfstt at boot time (which Debian does for you if you install xfstt from dselect or apt-get) and adding the "unix/:7101" to your fontpath in the global XF86Config file (which you have to do yourself). Man XF86Config should help you with the latter.

Re: xfs-xtt configuration
You need to remove the entry for port 7101 from /etc/X11/XF86Config. xfs-xtt replaces both xfs and xfstt with a single font server, so it will be running on the "standard" xfs port (7100), rather than xfstt's. X will definitely refuse to start if told to use a font server which isn't active... Cheers!

Re: xfs-xtt
There was a discussion about this back on Jan 23-24.
It's covered better than anything I could write. Check the archives.
Look for a subject to the effect of: "Batch rename files"
Bryan
Below is the method I would choose (from 1 of the messages in that thread):
---
A low-tech bash-only way to do this is:
for n in foo-*-bar-*.txt; do nn=${n/-bar-/-}; mv $n ${nn/foo/blah}; done
I actually use this quite often when I need to replace only one part
of the name. Plus you get to preview your changes when you replace
`mv' by `echo' in a dry run.
This was for the `easiest way' part.
Complex replacements get tedious with this technique, though. If
you're feeling really brave and are the do-it-yourself kind of person,
you won't want to resort to mmv or something else that is designed for
the job. You use sed to assemble a stream of commands that you pipe
into a shell:
ls foo-*-bar-*.txt | sed 's/\(foo\(.*\)bar-\(.*\)\)/mv \1 blah\2\3;/' | sh
or so. For increased power/obfuscation, you could pipe the output of
find into sed. This enables you to rename files in a whole directory
tree, and move them through the filesystem in interesting ways
(flattening directory hierarchies, for instance). This makes for
beautiful sed patterns, because the `/'s need to be escaped in sed:
find -type f | sed -e h -e 's/\.\///' -e 'y/\//-/' -e x -e G \
-e 's/\n/ /' -e 's/\(.*\)/mv \1;/' | sh
would transform
foo.txt
for/bar.txt
a/very/very/long/path/and/then/some.more
into
foo.txt
for-bar.txt
a-very-very-long-path-and-then-some.more
leaving some empty directories behind.
Now if you choose not to quote the sed expressions, because you could
as well escape them, you get
find -type f | sed -e h -e s/\\.\\/// -e y/\\//-/ -e x -e G \
-e s/\\n/\ / -e s/\\\(.\*\\\)/mv\ \\1\;/ | sh
I think this has a certain ring to it. Of course, my sed expressions
might be overly complicated, as complete mastery of sed is not really
simple to attain for mere mortals.

Re: xfs-xtt
Perhaps either xfs-xtt of mkttfdir expect font files to have a lowercase file extention. Remeber .MP3 is different than .mp3, and .JPG is different than .jpg, so it's not hard to imagine that this could be your problem.

The documentation that comes with xfs-xtt says nothing of this.

The debian package installs the freetype.h file in /usr/include/freetype instead of /usr/include, so change "#include " to "#include mkttfdir.pl won't work until you compile the package since mkttfdir uses FreeType Wrapper. However, the "not found" message is easier than that ... take a look at the first line of the script. I'll bet it says "/usr/local/bin/perl" rather than "/usr/bin/perl". Unless you've created a "/usr/local/bin/perl" link that script isn't going to work.

You need to restart xfs-xtt. If it's currently serving fonts via TCP this may piss off any connected remote X servers. It will definitely piss off the local X server, especially if the local server is using a domain socket. I actally got my machine to hard boot once :( I use login.app, so whenever I add a raft of fonts I shutdown X with "init 2" from a console, restart xfs-xtt, and restart X with "init 3". Obviously there are other ways to restart X :) Hope this helps! -- Nathan Norman "Eschew Obfuscation" Network Engineer GPG Key ID 1024D/51F98BB7http://home.midco.net/~nnorman/ Key fingerprint = C5F4 A147 416C E0BF AB73 8BEF F0C8 255C 51F9 8BB7 pgpvwgqIcHbHZ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hello, I got xfs-xtt working (thanks!), but I'm having some related problems. Now in some programs, the fonts are too big and I can't change them. My Kpanel's taskbar and menu text fontsize is too big. Changing it to some huge size or some small size or even a completely different font does nothing. It stays at what looks like a 14px Arial/Helvetica no matter what. Any ideas? - Bart

Don't I need to do something like this: >xset +fp /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype No, you're getting something wrong here. Your X server doesn't need to know the path to the font files, it needs to know were to find the font server who in turn needs info about the path to the actual files. Thus the "path" definition for the xserver could look like "unix/:7100", which basically means "font server on localhost, port 7100". You want to put this in the "Files" section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config file; mine looks like this: Section "Files" RgbPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "unix/:7100" EndSection The xset stuff is only for testing purposes, since the xserver will refuse to start if something goes wrong with the fonts. >When I do I get this: >xset: bad font path element (#38), possible causes are: >Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions >Directory missing fonts.dir >Incorrect font server address or syntax This is probably because there is no fonts.dir file. You don't have to worry about this as far as the xserver is concerned as it won't access the files but query the font server instead. But the font server might need this file. xfs and xfsft do, xfstt doesn't, I don't know about xfs-xtt. There should be some instructions that tell you what files you need. -- Philip Lehman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Re: Getting xfs-xtt to work
You don't want to specify the actual path to the fonts in the xset command, unless you want your X server to handle them directly (i.e. not using a font server). Instead you want to specify the port which your font server is listening at, which is normally 7100. The place you need to list the full path is /etc/X11/xfs/config - you may need to restart xfs-xtt as well. The command "xset +fp unix/:7100" indicates to use Unix domain sockets (faster than TCP sockets for local communications, xfs-xtt should support both) on port 7100. That should be all you need.

I don't have xfs (it asks me to remove xfs-xtt if I try > to similar thing mean, tcp:/hostname:port, I'm pretty sure that there are other options. But I use unix/:7100. This means that You don't have to run xfs-xtt on every machine. You can run it on, for example, a machine name fontserver. Then you should use xset +fp tcp/fontserver:7100 or put FontPath "tcp/fontserver:7100" in /etc/X11/XF86Config > install xfs).

Re: Getting xfs-xtt to work
Try xset +fp unix/:7100 or something similar. xfs-xtt use port 7100, same as xfs.

Getting xfs-xtt to work
Hello, Someone here suggested getting xfs-xtt to add True Type font support to Linux. I did that and am getting trouble setting it up. Here are the steps I've followed so far after installing xfs-xtt and also fttools: mkdir /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype cp /mnt/c/windows/fonts/*.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype cd /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype mkfttdir nano /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config (added a pointer to /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype) That's where I am right now. What do I do after (or before?)? Isn't there some xset command I need to run? Do I need to kill the x-server stuff (and if I do, mind telling me how?). Please be specific. Thanks! - Bart

Then shouldn't xfs-xtt replace both xfs-tt and xfs rather than
just xfs-tt??

netscape and xfs-xtt and windows TTF
Hello List I have a problem with xfs-xtt although I read the Font-Deuglification HOWTO and the Debian TTF mini-HOWTO. The following HTML code generates two lines of exactly the same font height. It works fine with all "normal" fonts. Just the windows TrueType fonts all behave like this. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy old dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy old dog. I tested with gtkfontsel and came to the result that it was able to give me any size of all TTF fonts I requested. xlsfonts shows me: ... -monotype-arial black-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -monotype-arial-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -monotype-arial-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -monotype-arial-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 ...
