adding fonts?Forum: HD Install Topic: adding fonts? started by: arslan Posted by arslan on Sep. 28 2005,15:14
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 Posted by hs7sv on Sep. 29 2005,02:19
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.
