In f8 (and I believe in f9) fonts work without any problems and
"dynamically" with font-config.
Put your fonts in ~/.fonts and it is done. You can check the result
using fc-list
For a system wide use, create a directory:
/usr/local/share/fonts/
then add the fonts there (in their own directory if you want to make a
classification).
To have these fonts used by the system, create a local.conf file in
/etc/fonts
<----local.conf
<fontconfig>
~ <!-- Font directory list -->
~ <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
<--- end local.conf
In my Xvfb thread, what the heck is /etc/X11/fontpath.d for?? And, how
is it initted/created and what should be in it? Is it a file or a
directory? I'm finding nuttin' googling my rear-end off. How 'bout it
Rahul?? Inquiring minds really need to know, so Xvfb works.
Or, would a local.conf file, as suggested here, override the mysterious
fontpath.d whateveritis?? I sure need to fix this one for my project
using Xvbf in Java Wonderland so we get our "proof-of-concept" before
the interested parties. Thanx, Ric
