VFlib-FreeType Enhanced Xserver for MkLinux

News

• Jun 12, 1998: (VFlib-2.22pl10-2a, freetype-1.0-3a) Rebuilt with pre-DR3. freetype with an additional patch to allow use of Dynalab fonts.
• May 12, 1998: (X11R6.3-01-1q version) A new Xserver with VFlib-FT support was built by S.Amamiya with X11R6.3-01-1q.src.rpm. See http://www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~roger/mklinux/x-vflib.html for more information.
• Feb 12, 1998: (X11R6.3-01-1E version) X-VFlib was built with X11R6.3-01-1E.src.rpm from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/redhat/SRPMS/ and Xpmac-VFlib.patch.gz from http://www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~roger/mklinux/x-vflib.html
  The patch applied almost OK to X11R6.3-01-1E except for the OSTeenyVersion in /xc/config/cf/linux-ppc.cf
  See also http://www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~roger/mklinux/vflib-ft-shared.html for more about the VFlib-FreeType port to MkLinux.

Installation

# rpm -Uvh freetype-1.0-3a.ppc.rpm

# rpm -Uvh VFlib-FT-2.22pl10-2a.ppc.rpm

# ls /usr/local/share/vflib/truetype

foobargothic.ttc

foobargothic.tti

foobarmincho.ttc

foobarmincho.tti

You need to edit /etc/vfontcap like:

# vi /etc/vfontcap

      ### TRUETYPE FONT (Windows fonts)
      foobar-mincho|FooBar mincho:\
             :ft=freetype:\
             :ff=/usr/local/share/vflib/truetype/foobarmincho.ttc:
      foobar-gothic|FooBar gothic:\
             :ft=freetype:\
             :ff=/usr/local/share/vflib/truetype/foobargothic.ttc:

At this point you can access these true type fonts from VFlib-enhanced applications. In order to use them from X, however, futher steps are necessary:

# mkdir -p /usr/lib/X11/fonts/VFlib

# cat > /usr/lib/X11/fonts/VFlib/fonts.dir

2

foobar-gothic.vflib -fb-gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0

foobar-mincho.vflib -fb-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0

^D

# cd /usr/X11R6/bin

# cp <somewhere>/Xpmac-VFlib.gz .

# gunzip Xpmac-VFlib.gz

# chown root:root Xpmac-VFlib

# chmod a+x Xpmac-VFlib

# chmod u+s Xpmac-VFlib

# ln -sf Xpmac-VFlib X

Now you can start X and try the truetype fonts:

$ xlsfonts | grep foobar

-fb-gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0

-fb-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0

$ xfd -fn `xlsfonts | grep fb-gothic`
