Most of the programs use Xfs/fontconfig. Furthermore, IIRC redhat is configured so that fonts under /usr/share/fonts are automatically added. Actually: not automatically: for reasons of efficiency there is a cache file there. Thus you need to run 'fc-cache' after you added/changed/removed fonts. So basically: create a directory under /usr/share/fonts, put the fotns there, and run fc-cache . BTW: I try to read the fc-cache man page on a fedora system (thanks, Lior) and I get the following error message: iconv: illegal input sequence at position 111 And I get nothing. This is not a problem of less: I tried using '-P more'. The current locale settings are 'POSIX' for everything. Workaround: use a UTF-8 locale for LC_CTYPE. e.g: LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 man lc-cache LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 man lc-cache A number of other man pages I tried had no such problem. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
