KDE 3.5.8 font registration fun
SoftwareIf you've just installed KDE 3.5.8 from ports or packages on FreeBSD, don't forget to do this. Why am I putting this here? Because I always forget to do this!
NetBSD users will probably want to access /etc/X11/XF86Config
instead.
Package kdebase-3.5.8 registered in
/var/db/pkg/kdebase-3.5.8
This port has installed fonts into
/usr/local/share/apps/konsole/fonts
You may want to add
/usr/local/share/apps/konsole/fonts
to your X font path by either:
% xset fp+ /usr/local/share/apps/konsole/fonts% xset fp rehash
or by adding it to your X-server configuration file (usually
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
or/usr/local/lib/X11/xorg.conf
) and restarting the X-server.You also have to make the new path known to
fontconfig
by adding a<dir>/usr/local/share/apps/konsole/fonts</dir>
line to either/usr/local/etc/fonts/local.conf
or~/.fonts.conf
and runningfc-cache -f
(as root if you editedlocal.conf
) afterwards.
I do have KDE 4.0 mostly running on an experimental system, but for the time being I'm sticking to 3.5.8 on production machines.
