5. RedHat Peculiarities In some places, the previous descriptions are not applicable to
RedHat. These differences are described below: While installing new font(s), the fontpath was supposed to be
included in the "Files" section of XF86Config.
In the case of RedHat this is not needed at all. There is a script called
chkfontpath to do this. With chkfontpath,
add a fontpath like this:
$ chkfontpath -a /usr/local/share/fonts/ttfonts/bijoy/
|
And remove a fontpath like this:
$ chkfontpath -r /usr/local/share/fonts/ttfonts/bijoy/
|
If chkfontpath doesn't show any error messages then the font(s) become
available or unavailable just after executing it. But even for RedHat, there
is no need to add a TrueType fontpath as "Xft" itself makes the fonts
avilable to KWord. So use of chkfontpath
for TrueType is optional.  | Note |
|---|
| | Just for reference, in the case of RedHat, the fontpaths are added in
/etc/X11/fs/config and not in XF86Config
or XF86Config-4. |
To use the Bijoy keyboard, the "InputDevice" section of
XF86Config needs editing. For RedHat it's a different file,
XF86Config-4 (i.e. /etc/X11/XF86Config-4).
The only use of TrueType was stated as low quality PDF creation
from MS Word files, for printing only. Unfortunately
KWord failed to open any MS Word
files in RedHat, let alone create PDFs. Don't know why.
