You usually don't need to. Kde should pick the fonts just the same |
| 15 |
moment you install them. Other X programs need a re-building of the |
| 16 |
font cache. That is done when X is restarted, but you can also do it |
| 17 |
manually on a term with something like this: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
xset fp rehash |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
That will re-read all the font dirs (the default gentoo configuration |
| 22 |
include system dirs and also local dirs, like ~/.fonts/). If you want |
| 23 |
to add a font path, you need to issue this other command before the |
| 24 |
one above: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
xset +fp /new/path |
| 27 |
of |
| 28 |
xset fp+ /new/path |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
To prepend or append a new path, then rehash it as shown above. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The xfs solution is something that is mostly deprecated, and it is a |
| 33 |
resource waste and a completely useless thing on a desktop machine. I |
| 34 |
don't recommend the xfs stuff at all. |
