Adding a Font Folder
X-Win32 ships with over 8000 fonts and aliases. Most fonts that a user needs are installed by default. However, occasionally proprietary application specific fonts are required to have an application display correctly. These fonts are typically installed with the application, and X-Win32 will need to reference them
Requirements
- Fonts are in bdf or pcf format (or compressed bdf, pcf)
- Fonts are all contained in 1 directory
Installation
- Locate the fonts you need to install on your linux system
- Make sure there is a fonts.dir file in the directory
- if fonts.dir does not exist, cd to the directory and then run the command mkfontdir
- This will create the fonts.dir
- Transfer the directory to your Windows system
- Open X-Config
- Click on the Fonts tab
- Click Add Folder
- Browse for the folder and add the folder
- Click OK on X-Config and Restart X-Win32
From a linux system type the command xlsfonts to check that the new fonts were installed
