Hello!
I have one HP-UX system and tried to test X-tunneling and GUI with
Cygwin. Now I met a problem with fonts. I couldn't find any suitable
answers from FAQ or User's Guide.
I have untarred HP_roman8 fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hp_roman8
folder and updated them
$ /usr/X11R6/bin/font-update
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi is up-todate. skipping
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi is up-todate. skipping
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc is up-todate. skipping
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID is up-todate. skipping
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF is up-todate. skipping
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 is up-todate. skipping
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic is up-todate. skipping
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local is not a directory. skipping
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hp_roman8 is up-todate. skipping
When I start X I don't have those hp_roman8 fonts:
------------- clip -------------
$ startx
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.2.0-4
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
XWin was started with the following command line:
X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1
(II) XF86Config is not supported
(II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more
information
(==) FontPath set to
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/,/usr/X11R6
/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/f
onts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
--------- end clip ------------
I tried also drive that setup again and reinstalled those fonts witch
were available (HP_roman8 is not), with no success. Question is that,
how can I really update fontserver? Or restart X so that it really sets
those fonts. Or is there some file witch consist that FontPath?
Best Regards
