View Full Version : chkfontpath a usefull tool


ErrorMsg
chkfontpath is a tool to add font paths to xfs
it's a good idea to keep an eye on it instid to tell people
to add font's by finding then opeing the XF86Config file
and add the ... then restart xfs... etc
just type this line after you make the font.dir
chkfontpath --add your/new/font/path

what is it :
This is a simple terminal mode program for configuring the directories
in the X font server's path. It is mostly intended to be used
`internally' by RPM when packages with fonts are added or removed, but
it may be useful as a stand-alone utility in some instances.
note: it's rpm shipped with RH 6.0 and later

To make font.dir use the utility mkfontdir.

what I'm trying to say not to give new way to add arabic fonts
but is an update the old one (ie use the usual-there are many people talk about it in this forum- exept the stage of opening the config files to add you font path and restarting xfs)
