9 These installation notes are supposed to provide a helpful guidance
|
|
Chris@441
|
10 through the process of installation of free UCS outline fonts. They
|
|
Chris@441
|
11 can probably be significantly improved. Please direct your comments,
|
|
Chris@441
|
12 suggestions for improvements, criticisms etc. to Primoz PETERLIN
|
|
Chris@441
|
13 <primoz.peterlin@biofiz.mf.uni-lj.si> and thus help improve them.

Chris@441
|
18 The rather awkward "UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD" agglomeration is used to
|
|
Chris@441
|
19 denote any system capable of running XFree86 server with FreeType
|
|
Chris@441
|
20 <http://www.freetype.org/>, a high-quality free font rasterizer.

22 1.1 The rough way
|
|
Chris@441
|
23
|
|
Chris@441
|
24 Unfortunately, hardly any other way exists at the moment.
|
|
Chris@441
|
25
|
|
Chris@441
|
26 1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts
|
|
Chris@441
|
27 in the TrueType format.
|
|
Chris@441
|
28
|
|
Chris@441
|
29 2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory,
|
|
Chris@441
|
30 e.g. /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/.
|
|
Chris@441
|
31
|
|
Chris@441
|
32 3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you
|
|
Chris@441
|
33 used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X
|
|
Chris@441
|
34 Font Server. Append the directory to the "catalogue=" in the
|
|
Chris@441
|
35 /etc/X11/fs/config.
|
|
Chris@441
|
36
|
|
Chris@441
|
37 4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts.

42 Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the
|
|
Chris@441
|
43 pre-packed Debian package, as available from the Debian site,
|
|
Chris@441
|
44 <http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/ttf-freefont.html>, or
|
|
Chris@441
|
45 any of its mirrors. You can install them by issuing the command
|
|
Chris@441
|
46
|
|
Chris@441
|
47 apt-get install ttf-freefont
