Installing the Free UCS outline fonts
|
||
|
|
=====================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These installation notes are supposed to provide a helpful guidance
|
||
|
|
through the process of installation of free UCS outline fonts. They
|
||
|
|
can probably be significantly improved. Please direct your comments,
|
||
|
|
suggestions for improvements, criticisms etc. to Primoz PETERLIN
|
||
|
|
<primoz.peterlin@biofiz.mf.uni-lj.si> and thus help improve them.

1. UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD Systems
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The rather awkward "UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD" agglomeration is used to
|
||
|
|
denote any system capable of running XFree86 server with FreeType
|
||
|
|
<http://www.freetype.org/>, a high-quality free font rasterizer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1.1 The rough way
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, hardly any other way exists at the moment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts
|
||
|
|
in the TrueType format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory,
|
||
|
|
e.g. /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you
|
||
|
|
used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X
|
||
|
|
Font Server. Append the directory to the "catalogue=" in the
|
||
|
|
/etc/X11/fs/config.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts.

||

1.2 Debian GNU/Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the
|
||
|
|
pre-packed Debian package, as available from the Debian site,
|
||
|
|
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/ttf-freefont.html>, or
|
||
|
|
any of its mirrors. You can install them by issuing the command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
apt-get install ttf-freefont
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
