/usr/lpp/info/X11fonts font path is put. As far as I can tell, when you start
InfoExplorer, either with the script in /usr/bin/info or with the executable,
/usr/lpp/info/bin/info_gr, /usr/lpp/info/X11fonts is _always_ put at the beginning
of the font path. For this reason I think I prefer, in principle, George Lindholm's
idea.
Unfortunately in my case, I cannot remove /usr/lpp/info/X11fonts because most
people need to run the native IBM X11R3/DPS server. Thus far I have not been able
to prevent InfoExplorer from adding this path, or making InfoExplorer look
somewhere else after starting it, then removing /usr/lpp/info/X11fonts from
the font path.
So, I have two questions:
1. Can I stop InfoExplorer from prepending /usr/lpp/info/X11fonts to the font path?
2. Can I tell InfoExplorer to rehash the font path after it starts?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Tom McConnell
