Truetype fonts (xfs.xtt) don't work

Truetype fonts (xfs.xtt) don't work

Post by Peter Mutsaer » Thu, 23 Sep 1999 04:00:00



Hello,

I installed the packages needed for xfs.xtt, the Truetype X-font
server.

No matter what I do, when I start xfs.xtt with config such that a
directory containing true type fonts is in the catalogue, I get

xfs.xtt error: Fatal font server error:
xfs.xtt error: Element #0 (starting at 0) of font path is bad or has a bad font:
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
zsh: abort      xfs.xtt

I started with a single true-type font (ARIAL.TTF) in this directory,
and then ran mkttfdir, which resulted in a fonts.dir containing:

1
ARIAL.TTF -Monotype-Arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

Btw I'm running -current, XFree-3.3.5. Installed recent packages
xtt-common-1.2.1.tgz, xtt-xfs-1.2.1.tgz etc.

Thanks for any help,

1. TrueType fonts don't render correctly.

I was finally able to add TrueType fonts to my system, however they don't
seem to render correctly.  For instance, whenever I select Verdana font, it
is rendered as Nimbus font.  This happens in KWord, Konqueror, etc...  So I
looked in the /etc/X11/XftConfig file and I noticed the following line:

match any family == "verdana"           edit family += "Nimbus Sans L";

I am guessing that anytime KDE sees verdana font it is replaced by Nimbus.  
I commented the line out, rebooted the system, but to no avail.  

Can someone point me in the right direction?
I am using standard RH7.2, KDE 2.2.1.  The antialiasing is on.

Thanks.
