Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

Finding Fonts

Fonts included with the desktop are in the /usr/lib/X11/fonts directory. Each directory contains a directory file, fonts.dir, and an alias file, fonts.alias. See the mkfontdir man page for information on creating the fonts.dir and fonts.alias files.

To list all fonts available at a server, user the xlsfonts command. To add or delete fonts to the server, use the xset command.
