Re: [Repast-interest] font complaints under rh7.2

[Nick C. <nic...@ve...>]

Here's a fix, I found. I haven't tried it through.

To get rid of the annoying font problems:

1> Download the URW fonts from http://www.gimp.org/urw-fonts.tar.gz

2> Untar the file in your X11R6 fonts directory. Usually this is
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts (i.e. tar zxvf urw-fonts.tar.gz)

3> Modify the xfs config file. The file is /etc/X11/fs

4> Add the line /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW to the catalogue. Make sure
each line has a comma at the end, except the last line of the catalogue
command. Here is how mine looks:

catalogue =
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,                            

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
            /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW,
            /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
            /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
            /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
            /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
            /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1

5> Restart xfs (i.e. /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart)
