True Type Fonts.
by Rajen Parekh 16 Jun '01

16 Jun '01

Hi all, Some good thing to share. I installed the new version of XFree86 that came with PCQ (last month - XFree86-4.02). Interestingly, the new X font server displays all (okay, not all, but most of them) the true type fonts that I have. There are only few steps to be done to achieve this. This is what I did. 1. First I created a new directory in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ directory. I called it "TrueType". 2. Then I copied all the true type fonts that I had into that directory. 3. Next I ran the following command [root@localhost /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType]# ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir 4. Next I added the path of the newly made directory in the "catalog" of the config file for xfs. The config file is at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config. I also added the path in the "FontPath" of XF86Config file. 5. Next, I restarted the font server, [root@localhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart That's it !!! Now you can have all your true type fonts. I could even have Indian fonts working with it. :-) More importantly, for GUI users, Netscape now looks much better. Believe me, much better especially Netscape 6.1. I have tried it with both Netscape 4.73 and Netscape 6.1 and both of them are able to use the new fonts. Netscape 4.73 somehow is not able to use all of them. I don't know why that is so. Netscape 6.1 uses all of them. Will now try to use this fonts with StarOffice. BTW, I am not able to use Java with StarOffice 5.1/5.2. I have jdk 1.3 installed. I have looked at many places for some answers, but couldn't find. I tried some of the solutions available on the net. The only difference now is that it does not display any "errors", but still no applets. Quite wierd, specially since both the products are made by the same company. Regards, Rajen.

Re: [[ILUG-BOM] True Type Fonts.]

Hi, Rajen, I have used a separate font server called xfstt. It is available via freshmeat. I am very satisfied with its performance and it is very easy to configure. In case you have used it, how is the performance of XFree86-4.02 as compared to xfstt. I am unaware of what is meant by anti-aliased fonts etc. In fact I do not know much about fonts. But xsftt is excellent. I borrowed some true type fonts from a Windows 98 machine. I do not know if it is the right way. Please comment.

Hi luggerrs !! I have OPTi 82c931 as sound card for which i installed the Alsa driver .. I'm using Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 .. I installed the driver as instructed by the INSTALL file .. However even after inserting the module manually using modprobe, my PC is still mute .. Have tried to unmute the mixer in the KDE using kmix but it says 'You do not have enough permissions. Log in as root and chmod a+rw /dev/mixer' .. however I was logged in as root and it actually has full rwx permission for all .. The contents of /proc/asound/sndstat says 'Audio Devices:Not enabled in config' Ditto for Synth Devices & Mixer Devices .. Has any body configured such sound card previously ? Shud I post the pnpdump file alongwith the mail ? Please guide me .. Thanks in advance .. $ sonpal -kj

Pine
by ajjoseph＠powersurfer.net 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Hey linuxers, How do I set up Pine so that the recipient's mail client displays the from header as "From: Chrisil" ? Although I am using a role with "Set From: Chrisil <ajjoseph(a)powersurfer.net>", the from header in the recipient's client appears as "From: ajjoseph(a)powersurfer.net". Even while composing Pine displays the header "From: Chrisil <ajjoseph(a)powersurfer.net>". Also I need to send mail through my ISP's SMTP server using Mutt. For this I need to setup sendmail(Is this called relay??). How can I configure sendmail for this. I have no experience configuring sendmail. Please help. Chrisil. -- I came to MIT to get an education for myself and a diploma for my mother.

Mutt's asking for missing file!
by N. Shrikant 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Hi, I'm trying to use mutt on my Slackware 7.1 box, but on starting it up, it says "/var/spool/mail/root --> no such file or directory errno=2" [to that effect] Now, I have a fair idea of what it means, because I deleted the file called 'root' in /var/spool/mail [even though some stuff in it explicitly told me not to mess around with it]. But is there any way that I can get the file replaced/remade? - Shrikant
