Hi, Great that it now works at last. However it should not require changes in xorg.conf: xsession on startup calls xset +fp that adds required entries automatically, probably it fails for some reason and there should be error messages in .dt/errorlog. Regarding saving using dtstyle: It should

Yes this is it! The almost obvious. Both your solutions work. But it is not enough for LTSP to have the folder /usr/dt/config/xfonts/el_GR.UTF-8 installed locally. It needs to have this folder in X FontPath (in it's local xorg.conf) Now both my old fonts and Eugene setup work. However, since E

Hi, Yes, it needs font on side of the X server that runs on side of your thinclient. This is the obvious problem that yesterday I've missed somehow in the files that you've sent: directory with CDE aliases is not here, you ve got just /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/,/usr/share/fonts/X

Hi, Regarding "dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-m" being 17 pixel fonts: I agree that 17 pixel "medium" font looks somewhat big, even on a nearly 100 dpi display. On my workstation I usually select "small" fonts as default in the preferences application. When choosing font sizes for the conf

Hi Eugene. I try to test this at work (at the University) where we have LTSP5. It seems that some things work and some not. I get a desktop with ComicSans everywhere. Even in the terminals (dtterm). And in very large size. Then I remove ComicSans, run again the mkfontscale && mkfontdir and your

Hi Eugene. Thanks for the reply. I tried to use your script and it seems it works. However, I have the following trouble. Running mkfontscale && mkfontdir does not produce iso8859-7 strings in the fonts.dir/alias files I googled this issue and it seems that these commands do not support iso885

Hi, Monotype fonts that are listed in the /usr/dt/config/xfonts/en_US.UTF-8/font.aliases file are from the microsoft core true type fonts package, which must be installed and correctly added to X Server font path. Usually it is installed in some directory under /usr/share/fonts (depending on dis

Hi. I am having trouble to properly load fonts on CDE on thin clients (LTSP5). I see that in /usr/dt/config/xfonts/en_US.UTF-8 the font.alias lists some monotype fonts. Where are these fonts so I can test with them? thanks, Antonis. --
