The mkfontdir man page and README.fonts ramble > on about using the -e flag but these docs do not make sense to > me. before you try again, just make sure that directory names are correct, and 'fonts.dir' has non-zero size. i have never tried using -e option. > for example, README.font says: > > $ cd /usr/local/share/fonts/Type1 > $ mkfontdir -e /usr/X11R6/lib/font/encodings > > which I dutifully did, only to create a file of exactly 0 bytes > called /usr/X11R6/lib/font/encodings/fonts.dir > ... mkfontdir doesn't exactly work w/ type1 and tt fonts as you noticed. you may wan to try ttmkfdir in /usr/ports/x11-fonts/ttmkfdir for truetype fonts, and type1inst in /usr/ports/x11-fonts/p5-type1inst for type 1 ps fonts. i hope if i am wrong, somebody will correct me. -- so, do you like word games or scrabble? - parv To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
