| 5 | How to install new Type1 fonts on an HP-UX 10.20 machine |
|---|
| 6 | -------------------------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | 1. Add the font files to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1.st/typefaces. |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | 2. Add the font descriptions to |
|---|
| 11 | /usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1.st/typefaces/fonts.scale. Run `mkfontdir' |
|---|
| 12 | in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1.st/typefaces. In the descriptions |
|---|
| 13 | you have to specify the font manufacturer as `misc', like: |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | -misc-courier-... |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | 3. Copy /usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1.st/typefaces/fonts.dir to |
|---|
| 18 | /usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1.st/licenses/STSYSTEM/DISPLAYS/fonts.dir. |
|---|
| 19 | Better yet, create a symbolic link. |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | 4. For each font encoding you are going to use create a description |
|---|
| 22 | file in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/stadmin/type1/charsets. Of course, if you |
|---|
| 23 | are going to use the same fonts in several encodings, the best way |
|---|
| 24 | would be to create fair descriptions of charsets and really store |
|---|
| 25 | only one encoding in typefaces, all the others will be produced |
|---|
| 26 | automatically. That's not difficult at all. |
|---|
| 27 | But the simplest way is to just copy the file cp.iso8859-1 |
|---|
| 28 | to cp.<your-encoding-name>, like cp.koi8-r. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | 5. Restart you X server and/or font server. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | What if you don't have the `root' privileges ? |
|---|
| 33 | ---------------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | You still can run the font server and configure your X server |
|---|
| 36 | to get the fonts from it. |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | Further let's suppose that the name on which you are going |
|---|
| 39 | to run the font server is named `somehost'. Login to it |
|---|
| 40 | and configure the font server. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | First, choose some unused port. Numbers around 9000 are a good |
|---|
| 43 | choice. Verify that this port is not used by somebody else |
|---|
| 44 | by entering |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | netstat -naf inet |grep 9000 |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | and look what happens. If you get nothing, that's good, this |
|---|
| 49 | port is unused. If you get some lines of data, try abother port. |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | Go to you home directory $HOME and create some directory for |
|---|
| 52 | your font server, say, $HOME/fs. Copy the directory structure |
|---|
| 53 | of /usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1.st into $HOME/fs, so that in result |
|---|
| 54 | you get $HOME/fs/type1.st/<whatever was there>. Copy the directory |
|---|
| 55 | structure of /usr/lib/X11/fonts/stadmin/type1/charsets into $HOME/fs, |
|---|
| 56 | so that in result you get $HOME/fs/charsets/<whatever was there>. |
|---|
| 57 | Install the new fonts in these directorues as described above. |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | Then create the fontserver configuration file, say, $HOME/fs/xfs.cfg. |
|---|
| 60 | The sample contents (supposing that my $HOME is equal to /home/babkin) |
|---|
| 61 | is: |
|---|
| 62 | |
|---|
| 63 | --------------8<----------- cut here ----------------------------- |
|---|
| 64 | # font server configuration file |
|---|
| 65 | # $XConsortium: config.cpp,v 1.7 91/08/22 11:39:59 rws Exp $ |
|---|
| 66 | |
|---|
| 67 | rasterizers = /usr/lib/X11/fs/ufstrast.sl,/usr/lib/X11/fs/iforast.sl |
|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | clone-self = off |
|---|
| 70 | use-syslog = off |
|---|
| 71 | catalogue = /home/babkin/fs/type1.st |
|---|
| 72 | # in decipoints |
|---|
| 73 | default-point-size = 120 |
|---|
| 74 | default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75 |
|---|
| 75 | port=9000 |
|---|
| 76 | error-file=/home/babkin/fs/fs.err |
|---|
| 77 | --------------8<----------- cut here ----------------------------- |
|---|
| 78 | |
|---|
| 79 | Then create the script to start your font server, say, $HOME/fs/runme: |
|---|
| 80 | |
|---|
| 81 | --------------8<----------- cut here ----------------------------- |
|---|
| 82 | TYPE1_CODEPAGE_DIR=$HOME/fs/charsets |
|---|
| 83 | export TYPE1_CODEPAGE_DIR |
|---|
| 84 | kill `ps -ef | grep $HOME/\[f\]s/xfs.cfg | awk '{print $2}'`; |
|---|
| 85 | nohup xfs -config $HOME/fs/xfs.cfg & |
|---|
| 86 | --------------8<----------- cut here ----------------------------- |
|---|
| 87 | |
|---|
| 88 | Don't forget to make $HOME/fs/runme executable. Then you can |
|---|
| 89 | execute it manually or from you .profile. |
|---|
| 90 | |
|---|
| 91 | After you get your font server running, just execute the following |
|---|
| 92 | command (with proper host name and port number) in your X session |
|---|
| 93 | |
|---|
| 94 | xset fp+ tcp/somehost:9000 |
|---|
| 95 | |
|---|
| 96 | to get the access to your private font server. You can add this |
|---|
| 97 | information to the configuration data of your X server or just |
|---|
| 98 | put it also into your .profile. In the latter case the best way |
|---|
| 99 | to do that would be like: |
|---|
| 100 | |
|---|
| 101 | --------------8<----------- cut here ----------------------------- |
|---|
| 102 | ... |
|---|
| 103 | $HOME/fs/runme |
|---|
| 104 | sleep 2 # give it some time to start |
|---|
| 105 | xset fp+ tcp/somehost:9000 |
|---|
| 106 | ... |
|---|
| 107 | --------------8<----------- cut here ----------------------------- |
|---|
