Starting Applications with a Specific Korean UTF-8 Font List

When you start an Asian Solaris tool at the command line, you can also specify its fonts. Below is an example of a command line argument used to start a new Korean Solaris terminal with a specified font list in the Korean UTF-8 locale environment:


system% dtterm  -fn "-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s 
sans-14-120-75-75-p-60-ksc5636-0;\ 	-dt-interface 
system-medium-r-normal-s sans-14-120-75-75-p-120-ksc5601.1992-3:"
Note the two delimiters used in the font list. The ";" delimiter is used to separate the font names except for the last font name, which ends with the ":" delimiter. (In the example above, ";" follows the English font name, and the ":" delimiter follows the Korean UTF-8 font name.) Since there are spaces in the long font names, the font list is enclosed in quotation marks.
