Installing the Free UCS outline fonts |

===================================== |

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

1. UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD Systems |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The rather awkward "UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD" agglomeration is used to |
| 19 |
denote any system capable of running XFree86 server with FreeType |
| 20 |
<http://www.freetype.org/>, a high-quality free font rasterizer. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1.1 The rough way |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Unfortunately, hardly any other way exists at the moment. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts |
| 27 |
in the TrueType format. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory, |
| 30 |
e.g. /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you |
| 33 |
used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X |
| 34 |
Font Server. Append the directory to the "catalogue=" in the |
| 35 |
/etc/X11/fs/config. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts. |
| 38 |

1.2 Debian GNU/Linux |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the |
| 43 |
pre-packed Debian package, as available from the Debian site, |
| 44 |
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/ttf-freefont.html>, or |
| 45 |
any of its mirrors. You can install them by issuing the command |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
apt-get install ttf-freefont |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
