I have RH7.2 with KDE2.2.2 How could I add fonts from windows? When I have Mandrake only I have to do it to use mandrake control center....

Eight steps to TT fonts. (su to root for steps 2 - 6)
1) Download and untar ttmkfdir. 2) Copy the ttmkfdir.linuxbin.glibc2 binary to /usr/local/bin/ttmkfdir, "cp ttmkfdir.linuxbin.glibc2 /usr/local/bin/ttmkfdir". 3) Do "mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype" and copy your tt fonts to this dir. 4) "cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype" and do "ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale && mkfontdir -e /var/X11R6/lib/fonts/encodings" 5) Edit your XFree86 configuration and add FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/" to the existing list of font paths. 6) Make sure that you're loading the 'freetype' module, Section "Module" ... Load "freetype" ... EndSection 7) Restart your X server. 8) Enjoy. |
I did
ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale && mkfontdir -e /var/X11R6/lib/fonts/encodings mkfontdir Now I have fonts.scale, fonts.dir and, but where encodings.dir? Did I need need this file. My XF86Config have Section "Files" FontPath "unix/:7100" EndSection How should I modify it? Also Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double-buffering Load "GLcore" # OpenGL support Load "dri" # Direct rendering infrastructure Load "glx" # OpenGL X protocol interface Load "extmod" # Misc. required extensions Load "v4l" # Video4Linux # Load "pex5" # PHIGS for X 3D environment (obsolete) # Load "record" # X event recorder # Load "xie" # X Image Extension (obsolete) # You only need the following two modules if you do not use xfs. #Load "freetype" # TrueType font handler # Load "type1" # Adobe Type 1 font handler EndSection So, also one question: I does not use any 3D application, I have S3 virge DX PCI, maybe I don't need some modules like GLcore? However I have not so fast P200/128Mb will it safe to delete here something? |
