Hello,
Sorry I do not have the original message to respond to. I have just
moved from debian-user-digest to debian-user. I may have missed the
last day of this thread.
I also am using xfstt to serve my TrueType fonts. It is not all that
bad a package. Problem is there is no startup with the Xfstt 0.9.7.
Documentation is almost none. I am running an up-to-date Hamm system.
So here is my very first hack.
I used the /etc/init.d/xfs for a base and created the file
/etc/init.d/xfstt, (bottom of message).
I modifid /etc/X11/config to mirror the xfs entry. I used XFSTT in
upper-case here due to test conflicts between the init.d xfs and xfstt
scripts. (bad hacking)
Then using the "SysV Init Editor" in KDE I added the xfstt just below
the xfs lines. xfstt needs be running before xdm, (in my case anyway).
Begin /etc/init.d/xfstt
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/xfstt: start or stop the True Type X font server
set -e
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
DAEMON=/usr/bin/X11/xfstt
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
test -f /etc/X11/config || exit 0
if grep -q ^xbase-not-configured /etc/X11/config
then
exit 0
fi
run_xfstt=0
if grep -q ^start-XFSTT /etc/X11/config
then
run_xfstt=1
fi
case "$1" in
start)
if [ $run_xfstt = 1 ]
then
echo -n "Starting X TT font server: xfstt"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON &
echo "."
fi
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
stop)
if [ $run_xfstt = 1 ]
then
echo -n "Stopping X TT font server: xfstt"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --name xfstt --exec $DAEMON
echo "."
fi
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/xfstt {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
end /etc/init.d/xfstt
This is my /etc/X11/config
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# This file contains configuration flags for the X Window System.
# For a description of the meanings of the flags, see
# /usr/doc/X11/README.Debian
run-xconsole
allow-user-resources
allow-user-modmap
allow-user-xsession
allow-failsafe
use-sessreg
#start-xfs
start-XFSTT
start-xdm
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
end /etc/X11/config
Links setup in /etc/rc2.d
15 Jul 8 1998 S11xfs -> /etc/init.d/xfs
17 Jul 8 1998 S12xfstt -> /etc/init.d/xfstt
15 Jul 8 1998 S20xdm -> /etc/init.d/xdm
This was just a quick fix. If someone would like to tune this up I
would be greatfull. This worked for me. Please use it carefully. I
did lock my system hard if xfstt was not running when xdm starts up!
Good luck,
