About to try some changes

Post #97,275 by drewk 4/18/03 12:06:43 PM Reply	About to try some changes Since I asked that first question, I disocvered that I wasn't running a font server, so the line in my XF86Config-4 pointing to unix:7100 wasn't finding anything. I installed xfstt and added a line pointing to unix:7101 (I wonder why it was different from expected) and now have much fonalishousness. Now to try to sub-pixel and smoothing goodies. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

I've got luscious fonts without any xfstt silliness. You should also realise that xfstt and friends are basically old news, as they patch the fact that there was once a time when XFree86 didn't do TrueType. The built in font system is what you want to use. If you're using a font server, check that the config file at `/etc/X11/fs/config` references all the directories that have fonts in that you want to use.

I still can't get gnome-terminal to use the console (Type1) fonts. If anyone knows a way to make it do this, I'd love to hear it. In the meantime I'm using Eterm, which isn't perfect, but it'll do for now. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
