Font Formats

Location of Fonts on the System

Fonts to support European locales are available in various formats, such as bitmaps, PostscriptTMType-1, and TrueType. The actual availability varies per character set.

Fonts are located at:

/usr/openwin/lib/locale/iso_8859_x/X11/fonts/

Adding and Removing Font Packages

To manually add font packages to the system:

  1. Always add the required font packages before the optional font packages.

  2. Remove the optional font packages first, when you are removing font packages from the system.

You must follow this procedure to add or remove fonts. The class action scripts in the font packages depend on this to function properly. The optional font packages contain scripts that concatenate information onto the required font packages that are already resident on the system. If the required font packages are not there, problems can occur.
