Hi everyone,

I've installed DSL to my HD as the only OS. Now I need to add more fonts. How do I do that? What kind of fonts can/can't I install? Since I'd like to use some custom-made fonts, I'll also need some keyboard-mapping application; is there such a thing for DSL?

Cheers,

arslan

arslan,

I used to use HD install before. I sugguest you to install dsl-dpkg.dsl and gnu-utils.dsl. For fonts adding, you need a command update-fonts-dir in gnu-utils.dsl.

By MENU (download from internet):
Apps / Tools / Enable Apt
Apps / Tools / Upgrade to GNU utils

The following are the guide line:-

DSL Fonts directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
font files: *.pcf and *.pcf.gz
DSL Fonts alias directory: /etc/X11/fonts/misc
alias files: *.alias

After fonts adding, pls run command below as Root:-
xset fp rehash
update-fonts-dir misc
uddate-fonts-alias misc

keyboard-mapping dorectory: /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/
keymap files: *.kmap and *.kmap.gz

After keymap adding, pls run this command as Root: loadkeys 'YourKeyMap'

DSL is based on Debian. For more information in Debian packages, pls visit: http://packages.debian.org/
