To Modify the Font Path

To modify the font path, you must run Font Administrator as the root user.

Modifying the font path may include the following subtasks:

• To list the font path

• To reorder the font path

• To delete font path Elements

• To add font path Elements

The default font path is shared. Modifying the default font path will affect all users who reference it.

Installing OpenWindows will initialize the default font path. You may want to keep a record of the changes you make to the default font path, so that you can recreate them if you install OpenWindows.
