Hello, <snip>
I even tried uncommenting every Type 1 path, leaving only the path FontPath "tcp/localhost:7101"
Try reversing that: comment out the tcp/localhost path and leave the rest uncommented. You should then be able to start X, but without any TrueType fonts. That will verify that the problem is entirely in the configuration for tcp/localhost:7101. I did this, that's how I am able to startx. Something definitely is not right. I have FreeType installed. I checked. Does xfs (xfsft) need any other packages?
Anyhow, I try starting this server and listing my TrueTypes via the command prompt and it still does not work. I show below what I did. By the way, after doing this, I get the message upon shutdown: <snip> Master Resource Control: Failed services in runlevel 0: xfs
(or at least after the unscaled ones) and then start fiddling. The likely cause, as I remember, is either a missing directory in the xfs configuration file I created a config file and named it /etc/xfs.conf and here are it's contents:
#- /etc/xfs.conf - clone-self = on client-limit = 10 # the path to your TrueType fonts catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType # how to log errors use-syslog = off error-file = /var/log/xfsft-errors.log # in decipoints default-point-size = 120 # x, y default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75
directory without the fonts.dir or fonts.scale file. I created the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /TrueType and create the encodings.dir. fonts.dir, and fonts.scale files. Shown below.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1860 Mar 8 00:05 encodings.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1398 Mar 8 00:05 fonts.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1398 Mar 8 00:04 fonts.scale -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62804 Mar 8 00:01 georgia.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60268 Mar 8 00:01 georgiab.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68172 Mar 8 00:01 georgiai.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 69552 Mar 8 00:01 georgiaz.ttf
The default location for the xfs configuration is
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config
Yes, but I let xfs know where the new config (/etc/xfs.conf) with root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > xfs -port 7101 -config /etc/xfs.conf & [1] 1332 then I make sure with root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > ps ax | grep xfs 1332 ? S 0:00 xfs -port 7101 -config /etc/xfs.conf 1334 ? R 0:00 grep xfs then I go to look at my fonts with root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > /usr/X11R6/bin/fslsfonts -server localhost:7101 root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > and I get nothing. Absolutely nothing. I have the FreeType lib installed too. Are there any other programs that I might need to install? This is just weird. I've tried port 7100, 7101, and 7102 in the above lines, and nothing helps. I put the contents of the files fonts.dir , fonts.scale , and encodings.dir at the bottom of this email. Thanks George Here are the contents of encodings.dir, fonts.dir, fonts.scale Contents of file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /TrueType/fonts.dir 20 georgia.ttf
