Font Paths


You can set-up a font server on your HP-UX system to provide an Xserver with the CDE fonts required to properly display CDE on the system. Please follow the steps below on every HP-UX system you want to act as a font server. When connecting a PC using an Xserver program you can make all of the systems on which you want to run CDE font servers using the following procedure:

  1. Append the following line to the end of /usr/dt/config/xfonts/C/

     RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1 
  2. Stop any font server processes that may be running with the following command:

     /sbin/init.d/xfs stop 
  3. Start the font server with the following command:

     /sbin/init.d/xfs start 
  4. Add each font server to the font path using the following steps:

    - Copy the Xsetup file from the /usr/dt/config directory to the / etc/dt/config/Xsetup file.

    - Add the following line to /etc/dt/config/Xsetup file:

     $XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/  IPADDRESS  :7000 1>/dev/null 

where IPADDRESS is the IP address of the server where the font server is running.

NOTE : If you have multiple systems running font servers on your network, you can have multiple entries (each with a separate IPADDRESS ) in your /etc/dt/config/Xsetup file, as shown below:

 $XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/11.11.11.111:7000 1>/dev/null $XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/22.22.22.222:7000 1>/dev/null
