I got a few basic questions about Fonts and using a Font Server. What I'd like to do in the future is serve all of my True Type and Type1 fonts from a font server, so that I can install them on one machine and have access to them on all my machines.
It looks like the way Red Hat does things is to have xfs serve all the fonts that come with XFree86 through xfs and then specify the connection to the xfs server in the XF86Config file. What I want to do is have the fonts that come with Red Hat always available TO the machine FROM the machine, not the LAN Font Server, so that if the LAN font server goes down then I will still be able to run X11 on my boxes. Can I specify the remote font server for my custom fonts AND the local font server - or should I turn off xfs on the client machines and add the filesystem paths to the default fonts after the remote font server? The other question I have is with respect to xtf. It seems that applications that use xtf do not get their fonts from the font server - rather, they get their fonts according to what is listed in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf I can add a directory of fonts there and apps like the KDE3 apps and xtf mozilla can see and use them, but not standard apps like NEdit. I can add a directory to the xfs path and NEdit can use them, but not any of the xtf apps. Is there a way to tell /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to get its fonts for anti-aliasing from the font server? Last but not least - I installed Java from blackdown. Java doesn't seem to get its fonts from the font server either. I can't find a config file for telling Java where to get its fonts for Java apps. Anyone know? Thanks, Michael -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
