I originally posted this to the Xfree86 list... but, maybe somebody knows what's going on here... I upgraded my XF86 3.36 to 4.03 by means of the ports... from what I can tell, I've done everything as I should -- but, I cannot get the fonts to work? Has anyone else had/solved this issue on their own boxes? Cheers, Erik... --------------8AE29CDE07EBB93BC0BEF85C Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Message-ID: <3ACA9249.EC85FEA4@callgtn.com> Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2001 23:17:29 -0400 From: Erik Rothwell <erothwell@callgtn.com> Reply-To: erothwell@callgtn.com Organization: xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: newbie@XFree86.Org Subject: TrueType fonts in XF86 4.03 (FreeBSD install from Ports.) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am having one heck of a time getting TrueType fonts working under XFree86 4.03... I'm trying to use the FreeType backend... here's what I did: I used to use an external Font Server (xfstt) under XF86 3.3.6... this mapped to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType... I used to add FontPath "unix/:7101" and then do an xset fp+ / xset fp rehash from .xinitrc. Under the new setup I've done this to my /etc/XF86Config (I didn't install under /etc/X11...) Under Section "Files": FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/" Under Section "Module": Load "freetype" Then I went to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType and did mkfontdir. And TTF fonts do not load... these are the excerpts from my Server Log -- (II) LoadModule: "freetype" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a (II) Module freetype: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.0.3, module version = 1.1.9 Module class: XFree86 Font Renderer ABI class: XFree86 Font Renderer, version 0.2 (II) Loading font FreeType But then, right near the end of the log we get: Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/, removing from list! And ... that's it. Nothing. X starts up and does its thing normally but I have like 5 fonts instead of the 600+ TTF fonts I've collected over the last while... can anyone help? I also tried doing "xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" but I got this error: [11:13pm] % xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType X Error of failed request: 86 Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath) Serial number of failed request: 9 Current serial number in output stream: 11 I'm sort of at a loss... Thanks in advance! Erik. --------------8AE29CDE07EBB93BC0BEF85C-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
