Re: How to "turn on" fonts in X?



If you are talking about bitmap fonts (the kind that you can select in xfontsel), they should be part of base X11. For TrueType fonts, look in the "fonts" category in pkgsrc. You probably need Bitstream Vera and msttcorefont.

I believe Hegel wrote that the owl of Minerva spread its wings
only at dusk, meaning of course that enlightenment comes at the
end of the day.

Having removed all the packages from this system it of course
has no font packages installed. Duh Bob.

So I am in the market for a list of font packages I should
install to give me a start at helping my X apps function. Where
might such a list be found?

Thank you
