Re: [MiNT] X-window problem

Hello,

That is a very complete list, but where does it go?

What I found is /etc/X11/fs/config

And what is in it is:

#where to look for fonts
#
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
Which starts a comma separated, space terminated list of possible font paths, which so far has been ignored by x-windows.
I am using the EasyMiNT distribution. Somehow, we are not communicating. 

Thanks,

Jim

Hello, all

Trying to get x-windows back the way I had it, and got stuck.

In the mean time, I got a copy of Papyrus, which uses bitstream speedo
fonts, and put those in BTFONTS on my boot drive.

Then, x-windows found only those BTFONTS, and ignored GEMSYS. So I moved
BTFONTS to another partition, and changed font paths in Papyrus, and
x-windows then found only system fonts.

There is an empty man page on setting font paths, and an obscure note at the
bottom of the xfontsel man page that a file called &XFILESEARCHPATH\xfontsel
was somehow involved.

I tried it as a setenv string with a path on the end, and nothing new
happened.

How do I get all the fonts in GEMSYS and BTFONTS listed in available fonts,
so I can use my old font.alias file?

The quickest way around this should be to make sure that both the
GEMSYS path and the BTFONTS path are in you X11 .config file. Here is
an example:

Section "Files"
#	FontPath	"unix/:7100"			# local font server
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
       FontPath "/etc/X11/fonts/misc"
       FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"
       FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
       FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
       FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/type1"
       FontPath "/etc/X11/fonts/Type1"
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
       FontPath "/etc/X11/fonts/Speedo"
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
       FontPath "/etc/X11/fonts/75dpi"
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
       FontPath "/etc/X11/fonts/100dpi"
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
       FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
       FontPath "/etc/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
EndSection

This does not solve the problem of being able to use both fonts from
TOS/GEM, just for X..
