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

Chris@441: 1. UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD Systems
Chris@441: 
Chris@441: The rather awkward "UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD" agglomeration is used to
Chris@441: denote any system capable of running XFree86 server with FreeType
Chris@441: <http://www.freetype.org/>, a high-quality free font rasterizer.
Chris@441: 
Chris@441: 1.1 The rough way
Chris@441: 
Chris@441: Unfortunately, hardly any other way exists at the moment.
Chris@441: 
Chris@441: 1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts
Chris@441:    in the TrueType format.
Chris@441: 
Chris@441: 2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory,
Chris@441:    e.g. /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/.
Chris@441: 
Chris@441: 3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you
Chris@441:    used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X
Chris@441:    Font Server. Append the directory to the "catalogue=" in the
Chris@441:    /etc/X11/fs/config.
Chris@441: 
Chris@441: 4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts.

Chris@441: 1.2 Debian GNU/Linux
Chris@441: 
Chris@441: Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the
Chris@441: pre-packed Debian package, as available from the Debian site, 
Chris@441: <http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/ttf-freefont.html>, or
Chris@441: any of its mirrors. You can install them by issuing the command
Chris@441: 
Chris@441: apt-get install ttf-freefont
