Hi,

i am trying to install a new font for netscape on the solaris platform.
since i am not root, i cannot change the /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc
directory. does anyone know where i should put the .pcf font file in my
own directory, and how to update my config files to let system/netscape
know of this new font?

thanks!

Put it anywhere you have write permission, but you may want to organize
it into your $HOME/.netscape directory, perhaps in a "pcf" subdir.

"man xset" and look for the fp+ option to add another font to your
fontpath, e.g.:

/usr/openwin/bin/xset fp+ $HOME/.netscape/pcf

Put the fonts in a dir like ~/fonts/, where you have write permission.
Then add the line "xset fp+ ~/fonts/" in the .xinitrc file. Restart the
X-server and you have the fonts.

BeRgds,

Restarting the X server doesn't do anything in this case. Using "xset fp
rehash" is a good idea. Then restarting Netscape should do it.
