Bonjour,
I want to use xfs on a machine as a font server in order to give an access to fonts that do not exist on a remote machine. This is done very easely with xfs:
1- I commented the line: no-listen = tcp in /etc/X11/fs/config on the server.
2- I used xset fp+ tcp/xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt:7100 on the client (xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt = IP number of the server)
And I could control that the "link" was working, using xlsfonts on the client:
xlsfonts | grep "font-that-do-not-exist-on-the-client"
So far, so good!
But I am unable to use these remote fonts with a web navigator. This seems to be the job of fontconfig and I did not find any instructions to tell /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to use the remote fonts.
Is that possible and how?
Tye break question: It seems that a navigator can only use fonts defined in these directories (from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf):
~ <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> ~ <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir> ~ <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/OTF</dir> ~ <dir>~/.fonts</dir>
And that if you want to add a new directory of fonts for your navigator, you have to put it in /usr/share/fonts/default, because, subdirectories of the other directories are not read. Am I right?
Thank you for any help.
PS I tested this on FC1 and FC2 only.
