Hi all, Please excuse my ignorant, but I am a bit confused about this. My understanding is that chkfontpath is somekind of utility from Redhat to add new fonts in a directory to the X font server.
So I downloaded a set of new fonts in a directory, created font dir using mkfontdir. Then I did chkfontpath -a /new/font/dir/ and I re-checked with chkfontpath -l to make sure the directory is there. After restarting xfs, I did "xlsfonts |grep -i fontname", where fontname is one of the font in the /new/font/dir/, and it just not there. The fonts I downloaded is for MathML in mozilla (CMSY10), so I also confirmed this firing up mozilla and load a MathML page, and mozilla still complained cannot find that font. So, what is the purpose of chkfontpath? >From searching, I think I can add new fonts using "xset fp+ /new/font/dir", then "xset fp rehash", but someone says this needs to be done everytime I reboot the machine, and so one way to do it is to put this in .bashrc or .bash_profile. Is there any better solution for this problem? In any case, this second solution is not really the answer of my original question: what is chkfontpath for? Please enlighten me. :). Thanks in advance for any reply. Reuben D.
