 |
|
I've installed the outstanding profont out of the devnull overlay (package name: "profont-x11") but I cannot use it:
| Code: |
$ xlsfonts | grep pro
$ |
What went wrong? |

Did you include it in the Files Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then restart X ?
| Code: | Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/<whatever>/" |

Thanks! That worked:
| Code: | $ xlsfonts | grep pro
-nil-profont-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-iso8859-1
-nil-profont-medium-r-normal--10-100-72-72-c-50-iso8859-1
-nil-profont-medium-r-normal--11-110-72-72-c-60-iso8859-1
-nil-profont-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-c-60-iso8859-1
-nil-profont-medium-r-normal--15-150-72-72-c-70-iso8859-1
-nil-profont-medium-r-normal--17-170-72-72-c-140-iso8859-1
-nil-profont-medium-r-normal--22-220-72-72-c-120-iso8859-1
-nil-profont-medium-r-normal--29-290-72-72-c-160-iso8859-1 |
But now XTerm does not find the font:
| Code: | $ xterm
xterm: unable to open font "-nil-profont-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-c-60-iso8859
-1 ", trying "fixed".... |
My ~/.Xdefaults:
| Code: | $ cat .Xdefaults
XTerm*background:Black
XTerm*foreground:White
XTerm*font: -nil-profont-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-c-60-iso8859-1 |

| Thanks. But I have to do this after every startup. How can I set my .Xdefaults permanently? |

| How do you start X - with kdm/gdm/xdm, or with startx? |
