Fluxbox and Artwiz fonts.

Hi there,
I'm trying to install artwiz fonts, to make them work on Fluxbox, but they doesn't. I installed them correctly following the instructions, and they work on xterm or aterm for exemple doing: "xterm -fn snap" but on Fluxbox doesn't work, I changed /etc/profile locale from:

but still doesn't working artwiz fonts on fluxbox. I see them like M$ fonts, nothing about artwiz.

Any ideas?

If you mean the fonts Fluxbox itself displays, you have to edit the style config file and change the specified font.

wtf?? I am using artwiz themes, using a fonts called snap and nu provided by artwiz, those works on aterm and xterm, but doesn't work on fluxbox.

Where did you install the fonts, I mean is your font dir
present in xorg.conf ? Also did you run a fc-cache -fv .
in your font dir ?

crud · 06-26-2005, 11:44 AM

keefaz, the command fc-cache -fv gets me that:

Code:

# fc-cache -fv
fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts": skipping, no such directory
fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype": skipping, no such directory
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF": caching, 52 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1":  caching, 29 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc": caching, 55 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "/root/.fonts": skipping, no such directory
fc-cache: succeeded

And I installed artwiz fonts there:

FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz/"

And I repeat that works on xterm and aterm, but for exemple, I can't use it on a text editor like gedit or use it on fluxbox theme.

It may not be reading it the way it is written in the style file.Open xfontsel and select the font you want to use,add (middle click to paste) that to the style's theme.cfg and restart fluxbox and see if that helps.

hello fluxboxers and slackers! first post here.

it took me hours to have the artwiz fonts working in fluxbox. there was something wrong with an older release of them and they were not recognized properly as freetype fonts when running fc-cache. if your fonts.cache-1 after fc-cache shows wrong font names this is the case. go to http://artwizaleczapka.sourceforge.net/ and grab the latest tarball! properties are fixed now and my fluxbox looks perfect

ashino, I have the last artwiz fonts.

crud · 06-26-2005, 01:12 PM

comprookie2000, I don't have artwiz fonts on xfontsel.

Alec Zapka has modified the Artwiz fonts to make them compatible with fontconfig and implicitly with all the recent desktop environment releases such as KDE 3.x (QT 3.x) and Gnome 2.x (GTK+ 2.x). Utilities such as mkfontdir are now able to recognize and use the Artwiz fonts too.

are you sure you don't have the file http://xlife.zuavra.net/projects/des...-fonts.tar.bz2 ? i had exactly the same symptoms. could you post your fonts.cache-1 (in the artwiz fonts directory)?

gbonvehi · 06-26-2005, 01:43 PM

Try creating a file called /etc/fonts/local.conf with this content:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>

	<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz</dir>

</fontconfig>

And make sure xorg.conf has the correct fontpath.
And run fc-cache where you installed them, not as general:

Code:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/artwiz/ &&  fc-cache ./

Those steps are indicated in artwiz readme: http://artwizaleczapka.sourceforge.net/README

Here it is artwiz fonts.cache-1

ashino · 06-26-2005, 03:10 PM

Code:

"snap.pcf.gz" 0 "Lucida-1:style=Sans ...

in my file:

Code:

"snap.pcf" 0 "snap:style=Regular ...

you can see snap (for example) is recognized as Lucida something, not as it should. Download the correct fonts from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=95348 .
edit the /etc/fonts/local.conf file as gbonvehi says and everything should work

Alright! Works fine now

Thnx*

Well, I try to install the artwiz fonts as well. I use the following way for a system-wide installation:

Code:

# cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
# tar xjf /tmp/artwiz-fonts.tar.bz2
# cd fluxbox-artwiz-fonts
# mkfontdir
# chkfontpath -q -a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/fluxbox-artwiz-fonts:unscaled

But when I type that mkfontdir command, I get an error message telling me "command not found". Same for chkfontpath.

So, how can I install the fonts now?
