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 thexfs
path 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
xfs
font server configuration file by issuing the following command as root:service xfs reload
