I am not happy with the until now bad and grainy fonts I get using remote login from a Solaris7/SS1 as X Terminal to a SJDS/Gnome2.2/SLES8 XDMCP host. I am not sure if this due to lack of support for font antialiasing or other X settings, eg. color depth, screen resolution or others. (To compare, 8 bit color depth and screen resolution 1152x864 looks quite OK using CDE session). According to the "Connecting X Terminals to Linux mini Howto" section 4.5, the X Font Server (XFS) is the only way to provide antialiased fonts such as freetype to most X Terminals. I have extracted the following two configuring steps, which should be done before starting the font server: 1) Enable the XFS font server to accept remote XDMCP request in the /etc/X11/fs/config file by commenting out the following line: # no-listen=tcp 2) Verify that the X Terminal and X host are broadcasting and listening on the same port. The default port used in /etc/init.d/xfs is 7100. According to the "Linux XDMCP Howto" section 2.6 p.8, etc/X11/XF86Config has to be edited by changing the line FontPath "unix/:-1" to FontPath "unix/:7100" However, I cannot find this line in XF86Config on SJDS/SLES8, only a list of fonts. Should I place this line for FontPath port in front of this font list, or does SLES8 use other config files for this setting? At last, according to the Howto, the command 'chkfontpath --list' should check out what fonts are available. As I get only the message 'command not found', I wonder if this command isn't supported on SuSE? Terje J. Hanssen
