Chapter 6. The X Window System
  clone self
  Decides if the font server will clone a new version of itself when the
client 
limit
is hit. By default, this option is
on
. Set it to
off
to disable this feature.
  default point size
  Sets the default point size for any font that does not specify this value.
The value for this option is set in decipoints. The default of
120
corresponds to 12 point fonts.
  default resolutions
  Specifies a list of resolutions supported by the XFree86 server. Each
resolution in the list must be separated by a comma.
  deferglyphs
  Tells
xfs
whether to defer the loading of glyphs, which is an image used to
visually represent a font. You can disable this feature (
none
), enable this feature for all fonts (
all
),
or turn this this feature on only for 16 bit fonts (
16
), which are largely used with Asian languages.
  error file
  Allows you to specify the path and file name of a locations where
xfs
errors can
be logged.
  no listen
  Tells
xfs
not to listen using a particular protocol. By default, this option is set to
tcp
to prevent
xfs
from listening on TCP ports, primarily for security reasons. If you plan on using
xfs
to serve fonts to networked workstations on a LAN, you need to remove the
tcp
from this line.
  port
  Specifies the TCP port that
xfs
will listen on if
no listen
does not exist or is commented
out.
  use syslog
  Tells
xfs
to use the system error log if set to
on
.
6.5.2. Adding Fonts
When using
xfs
, adding fonts to your system is rather straightforward. Use the
chkfontpath   
list
command to see the font paths currently configured on your system. To add new fonts in a new
directory, follow these instructions as the root user:
1. Create a font directory, such as
/usr/share/fonts
and place the fonts inside that directory.
Be sure to set the permissions correctly; it is only necessary that the files can be read, no other
permissions are necessary.
2. Type the
chkfontpath   add
font directory path
command, where the
font 
@
A
@
directory path
is the full path to the directory holding the fonts. This will add this font
A
path to the
xfs
configuration file.
Note
You must have a fonts.dir file in your new font directory for the chkfontpath command to
work correctly. The creation of the fonts.dir file, as well as any other files used by xfs with
these fonts, is beyond the scope of this document.
Many font collections available for Linux include these files for you, it may not be necessary to
create them by hand.
3. Restart
xfs
using the
/sbin/service xfs restart
command. You will also need to restart
your X session.
4. Typing the
chkfontpath   list
command will show the new font path. Any fonts you added
will be available for use.
