1Installation Notes 2------------------ 3 4These install instructions should suffice for 98% of all users. For more 5advanced requirements refer to the xfstt(1x) man page or the FAQ. 6 7Git Sources 8----------- 9 100) Maintainer setup 11 12 You will need this software: 13 14 autoconf >= 2.53 15 automake >= 1.5 16 gettext == 0.18 17 pkg-config 18 19 And running the following command on the source dir: 20 21 $ autoreconf -Wall -f -i 22 23 At this stage the source should be equivalent to the distributed tar 24 source. 25 26Distributed tar Sources 27----------------------- 28 291) Configuring 30 31 $ ./configure [options] 32 33 For all available options see "configure --help". If you want later to 34 install in a different directory you may be interested in --prefix 35 and --localestatedir options. 36 372) Compiling. You will need the X fonts proto header files. 38 39 $ make && make install 40 41 (use gmake instead of the standard make on FreeBSD) 42 433) Copy some truetype (.ttf) files or create symlinks to truetype directories 44 in the default installation directory /usr/local/share/fonts/TrueType 45 (note that this directory may be changed in the configure step). Then to 46 generate the font databases: 47 48 $ xfstt --sync 49 504) Start xfstt in the background. You may put this on the boot init sequence. 51 If your distribution has a System V init then take a look at the example 52 initrc file provided in the docs/examples dirs. Else if your distro uses 53 a BSD init you can add the following line to the /etc/rc.local file. 54 55 $ xfstt --daemon 56 575) Tell your X11 server about the new font service: 58 59 $ xset fp+ unix/:7101 60 61 or add the new fontpath to the X11 config file, Section "Files", on 62 XFree86 4.0 and above, the file can be found on /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 63 64 FontPath "unix/:7101" 65 66 Read FAQ item 2.1 if you are having problems after doing this. 67
