Just copying my fonts into a directory and adding the path to my Xprt command line didn work – I always get “Fatal server error: could not open default font fixed\”. What am I doing wrong ?
Every Xserver needs an index file called fonts.dir to tell it which fonts are available in this directory and which properties these fonts have. If you are lucky there may be already a fonts.scale file which can be used by “mkfontdir” to create the fonts.dir file. If there is no fonts.scale then you have to create your own fonts.dir/fonts.scale either by hand or via tools like “mkfontscale” (works for all types of scaleable fonts), “type1inst” (for PS Type1 fonts; see http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/type1inst.html) or “ttmkfdir” (for TrueType fonts; see http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/ttmkfdir.html).
