|Scalable fonts get managed with "font-config", for example:
|
| fc-list
| fc-list :scalable=true:spacing=mono: family
|
| xterm -fa 'Luxi Mono' -fs 24
I use
$ cat /x/src/ttf-fonts/update.sh
#!/bin/sh -
doone() {
echo $1..
cd $1 || exit 21
# xset +fp `pwd`
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
rm -f .uuid
fc-cache -f .
}
while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
doone $1
shift
done
#xset fp rehash
#fc-cache -r
And in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (i did nothing) it says (among a lot
of other things i do not understand -- i mean, XML, really)
<!-- Font directory list -->
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
And basically i only have some fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/.
That works (it is a Linux though i hope that does not matter).
