Re: [SLE] Re: How to update fonts.alias file?

Hello, no don't bother with the text editor unless you know what your doing. Go to http://www.firstnethou.com/gz/xfsft_HOW-TO.html There is instructions on setting up xfsft in detail. Part of this involved creating the fonts.alias file. That part was a piece of cake. So just take a look at that part to job your memory. George Tue, 11 Apr 2000, ÷Ù ÎÁÐÉÓÁÌÉ:

I got a question how to update fonts.alias file

To the best of my knowledge, you update it with a text-editor ;-)

if you want to call a font by the name fred, then add it to the file:

fred -long-font-name-from-fonts.dir-

...

I saw fonts.alias file which wasn't updated with the new font, therefore Linux can't see the new font.

I don't think that is why. Perhaps you should restart X. You can call fonts by the long name given in fonts.dir files and optionally shorten that name with the alias file.
