Re: [Indic-computing-users] Raghu, ttmkfdir and Code2000

[Tapan S. P. <ta...@ya...>]

It is in /etx/X11/Xftconfig or in ~/.xftconfig.  You have to set the
font families using stuff like...

match
	any family == "sans"
edit
        family += "raghu";
	size = 11;

or something like that...  Im not sure if this is how it will remain in
Xft2.

Im testing this just now, will let u know how it comes out in 15
minutes... ;)
