I've added some fonts from outside portage this way: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
(Sorry that what follows is a bit of a confusing mess) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/terminus |
| 9 |
loaded the fonts into termininus |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Ran: |
| 12 |
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/terminus |
| 13 |
Ran: |
| 14 |
xset fp rehash |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Which is supposed to tell the X fonts tools about the new |
| 17 |
set of fonts with out having to restart X. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I thought a bit and wondered if I might should have added the new |
| 20 |
directory to the font path.. I don't really think so since the default |
| 21 |
path covers the new one but still....so: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Ran: |
| 24 |
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/terminus |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
That is supposed to prepend that path to the existing path. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Checked with: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
xset q |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
And I see the new directory |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Font Path: |
| 35 |
/usr/share/fonts/terminus_hp3-170310/,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,built-ins |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
The new fonts show up with `fc-list' |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
OK, all seems to be working... |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Until I actually try to use them. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
xterm -fa ter-u14b_iso-8859-1.pcf |
| 45 |
(output wrapped for mail) |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Warning: Cannot convert string |
| 48 |
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type |
| 49 |
FontStruct |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
It appears the xterm is trying to load a font from somewhere else even |
| 54 |
though I asked for `ter-u14b_iso-8859-1.pcf' |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I'm not at all sure where the -adobe-helvetica if being called. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
sudo grep -r 'adobe-helvetica' /usr/share/fonts |
| 59 |
<Nothing> |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
However there are piles of fonts with `adobe' in the name: |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
sudo grep -r adobe /usr/share/fonts|wc-l |
| 64 |
173 |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
They appear to be mostly like this: |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/fonts.scale:verdanaz.ttf |
| 69 |
-microsoft-verdana-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
Thought it might be from .Xresoures but there are no fonts there with |
| 72 |
adobe in the name |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
`grep adobe .Xresources' <nothing> |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
Anybody here recognize what the problem might be? |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
There are a few helvetica in the .. only one is english: |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
/usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias:variable \ |
| 81 |
-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
And two japanese helveticas |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
So I can't even tell where that adobe font is coming from |
