hi all,
I have been trying to follow the Daemonnews article from last November.
I also installed the webfonts port. I copied the webfonts to the TrueType
directory and ran ttmkfdir > fonts.dir in each. I installed xfstt, of
course. According to 'top' it is running. I thought maybe it wouldn't show
up because I have a 800x600 laptop display, but the fonts don't even show up
in the list for Netscape, and according to the webfonts port, netscape is
supposed to see them.
Can somebody help?
local:~> cat .xinitrc
xset m 3.75 1
xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts
xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
xset fp rehash
exec /usr/local/bin/bbkeys -i&
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox
my relevant Xf86Config:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
FontPath "/usr/local/applix/axfonts/all_pcf"
EndSection
Oddly enough, I had to comment out the 2 lines above because X complained it
couldn't find them. How could this be?
