6.3. Working with legacy fonts
The X server looks for a font server specified in the
FontPath directive within the Files section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration file.
The X server connects to the
xfs server on a specified port to acquire font information. For this reason, the xfs service must be running for X to start.
6.3.1. Adding Fonts to xfs
To add fonts to the core X font subsystem (
xfs), follow these steps:
- If it does not already exist, create a directory called
/usr/share/fonts/local/using the following command as root:mkdir /usr/share/fonts/local/If creating the/usr/share/fonts/local/directory is necessary, it must be added to thexfspath using the following command as root:chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/local/ - Copy the new font file into the
/usr/share/fonts/local/directory - Update the font information by issuing the following command as root:
ttmkfdir -d /usr/share/fonts/local/ -o /usr/share/fonts/local/fonts.scale - Reload the
xfsfont server configuration file by issuing the following command as root:service xfs reload
