Installing the Free UCS outline fonts
=====================================
These installation notes are supposed to provide a helpful guidance
through the process of installation of free UCS outline fonts. They
can probably be significantly improved. Please direct your comments,
suggestions for improvements, criticisms etc. to Primoz PETERLIN
<primoz.peterlin@biofiz.mf.uni-lj.si> and thus help improve them.
1. UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD Systems
The rather awkward "UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD" agglomeration is used to
denote any system capable of running XFree86 server with FreeType
<http://www.freetype.org/>, a high-quality free font rasterizer.
1.1 The rough way
Unfortunately, hardly any other way exists at the moment.
1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts
in the TrueType format.
2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory,
e.g. /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/.
3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you
used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X
Font Server. Append the directory to the "catalogue=" in the
/etc/X11/fs/config.
4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts.
1.2 Debian GNU/Linux
Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the
pre-packed Debian package, as available from the Debian site,
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/ttf-freefont.html>, or
any of its mirrors. You can install them by issuing the command
apt-get install ttf-freefont
2. Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP
To be written.
3. MacOS
To be written.
