From what I can tell, when I chrooted into my Build partition, and did apt-get install big-cursor, everything was taken care of by Debian. The fonts.dir file has this at the top:| Quote | 576
6x12.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--12-110-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1
big-cursor.pcf.gz cursor
6x13.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 |
The original cursor file, now left out of the fonts.dir file was renamed to:
| Quote | | cursor.pcf.gz-small |
I had noted that when the apt-get ran, and installed "big-cursor".
Now for the sticky part:
Only in some areas of the desktop, windows, etc. does "big-cursor" show up.
The default Knoppix cursor is everywhere, mostly in big windows like Firefox, which I run fullscreen. What is strange is that upon bootup of X11, the 'big-cursor' "X" (really big) appears briefly, then the mouse cursor is changed to the default Knoppix one (that I am trying to get rid of).
Now, back to running update-fonts-dir. I tend to think that even if I got the artwiz cursor fonts placed in the directory, and made a new font.dir file, those fonts would just take the place of "big-cursor" , and not appear everywhere, any more than 'big-cursor' does now. I have remastered it with big cursor, so I am running that now, and can see what a mess I have with two groups of cursor fonts.

There is the open look sun cursor fonts, still in there, with the file name:
It is possible to change to KDE within my Knoppix remaster, and there I can actually view the contents of these font files, to see what they look like.
In Fluxbox or ICEwm, the system cursor font is supposed to be viewable with:
| Code Sample | | xfd -fn cursor |
and a box will open with all of the various cursor shapes displayed.
It is obvious that I do have 'big-cursor' installed when I run that.

So, I still have not discovered where Knoppix hides the little cursor that they have in Knoppix 3.4. It's small, white, and has a shadow. If I did find the file where it is stored, and renamed it or something, I might then not be able to get X11 to start up, if a file somewhere tries to call it. I tried using KDE to change it to a larger one, in a KDE control panel, but it won't do that. Stays the same.

I'll get back in here if I fix this...
