| 1. Get freetype-1.0.full.tar.gz | |
| 2. Read docus, unpack, configure and install | |
| 3. Test the library, e.g. "ftview 20 /dosc/win95/fonts/times " | |
| 4. Get xfsft-beta1e.linux-i586 | |
| 5. Install it and start it when booting, e.g. in an rc-script. | |
| The manpage for xfs applies. | |
| 6. Follow the hints given by williamc@dai.ed.ac.uk | |
| ========== | |
| I got xfsft from http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jec/progindex.html. | |
| I have it running all the time. Here is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config: | |
| clone-self = on | |
| use-syslog = off | |
| catalogue = /c/windows/fonts | |
| error-file = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/fs-errors | |
| default-point-size = 120 | |
| default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100 | |
| Obviously /c/windows/fonts is where my Windows fonts on my | |
| Win95 C: drive live; could be e.g. /mnt/dosC/windows/system | |
| for Win31. | |
| In /c/windows/fonts/fonts.scale I have | |
| 14 | |
| arial.ttf -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 | |
| arialbd.ttf -monotype-arial-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 | |

| wingding.ttf -microsoft-wingdings-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-microsoft-symbol | |
| In /c/windows/fonts/fonts.dir I have exactly the same. | |
| In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config I have | |
| FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100" | |
| in front of the other FontPath lines. | |
| That's it! As an interesting by-product of course, all those web | |
| pages which specify Arial come up in Arial in Netscape ... | |
| ======= | |
| 7. Shut down X and restart ( and debug errors you did while setting | |
| up everything. | |
| 8. Test with e.g "xlsfont |grep arial" | |
| Hope this helps |
