108 Chapter 7. X Servers and Clients

7.5.1. xfs Conﬁguration

The /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs script starts the xfs server. Several options can be conﬁgured in the

/etc/X11/fs/config ﬁle:

• alternate-servers — Sets a list of alternate font servers to be used if this font server is not

available. A comma must separate every font server in the list.

• catalogue — An ordered list of font paths to use that contain the font ﬁles. A comma must follow

every font path before a new font path can be started in the list.

You can use the string :unscaled immediately after the font path to make the unscaled fonts in

that path load ﬁrst. Then, you can specify the entire path again, so that other scaled fonts will also

be loaded.

• client-limit — Sets the number of clients this font server will service before refusing to handle

any more. The default is 10.

• clone-self — Decides if the font server will clone a new version of itself when the client-

limit is hit. By default, this option is on. Set it to off to disable this feature.

• default-point-size — Sets the default point size for any font that does not specify this value.

The value for this option is set in decipoints. The default of 120 corresponds to 12 point fonts.

• default-resolutions — Speciﬁes a list of resolutions supported by the XFree86 server. Each

resolution in the list must be separated by a comma.

• deferglyphs — Tells xfs whether to defer the loading of glyphs, which is an image used to

visually represent a font. You can disable this feature (none), enable this feature for all fonts (all),

or turn this this feature on only for 16-bit fonts (16), which are largely used with Asian languages.

• error-file — Allows you to specify the path and ﬁle name of a locations where xfs errors can

be logged.

• no-listen — Tells xfs not to listen using a particular protocol. By default, this option is set to

tcp to prevent xfs from listening on TCP ports, primarily for security reasons. If you plan on using

xfs to serve fonts to networked workstations on a LAN, you need to remove the tcp from this line.

• port — Speciﬁes the TCP port that xfs will listen on if no-listen does not exist or is commented

out.

• use-syslog — Tells xfs to use the system error log if set to on.

7.5.2. Adding Fonts

When using xfs, adding fonts to your system is rather straightforward. Use the chkfontpath --

list command to see the font paths currently conﬁgured on your system. To add new fonts in a new

directory, follow these instructions as the root user:

1. Create a font directory, such as /usr/share/fonts and place the fonts inside that directory.

Be sure to set the permissions correctly; it is only necessary that the ﬁles can be read, no other

permissions are necessary.

2. Type the chkfontpath --add

font-directory-path command, where the font-

directory-path is the full path to the directory holding the fonts. This will add this font

path to the xfs conﬁguration ﬁle.
