in 1991, and have been updated slightly for the xfs 1.1.0 modular release,

Installation instructions for fontserver
2009-10-10 04:12:48 -06:00
1 - If you don't want to use the default config file location,
run configure with the --with-default-config-file=path option to
point to the correct place.
2009-10-10 04:12:48 -06:00
An example config file is in ./config
2009-10-10 04:12:48 -06:00
2 - modify the config file so the 'catalogue'
parameter points to a set of valid font directories.
At this point the test programs should work. Start the font server
(xfs &) and try some tests. Most of the clients take
a command line switch of where to find the server, and
FSlib understands the environment variable FONTSERVER.
The format is the same as Xlib, (ie, hostname:server_number).

The doc directory contains various pieces of documentation on the font
server and associated software:

Tested font formats:
The fontserver has been tested with PCF, Speedo, SNF and BDF formats.
Tested environments:
the fontserver and clients have been built & tested on SPARC running
4.x and a DECstation 3100 running V4.0. it should work ok on any 32
bit UNIX w/ BSD sockets.
