Installation instructions for fontserver
1 - set DefaultFSConfigFile to point to the correct place, if the default
is not what you want.
an example config file is in ./config
2 - modify the file named by DefaultFsConfigFile 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).
See mit/doc/fontserver:
./doc
various pieces of documentation on the font server and associated
software:
