intlfonts package contains free X11 fonts (BDF format) for all characters that Emacs 20 can handle. intlfonts package contains free X11 fonts (BDF format) for all characters that Emacs 20 can handle. The fonts are classified as follows: European, Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Ethiopic, and misc, with one sub-directory for each category. TrueType fonts are also included.How to install fonts1.0 Suppose that you extracted font archives in $WORKDIR. Thisdirectory should contain `configure' scritp as well as this READMEfile and archive files.Run commands to install% cd $WORKDIR% ./configure% make installNote: You don't have to do `make' before `make install'.Then all fonts are installed to this directory: /usr/local/share/emacs/fontswhile being converted to PCF format.In addition, BDF font files are installed as is to this directory: /usr/local/share/emacs/fonts/bdfIf you want to install fonts in the different directory (say$INSTDIR), run `configure' as below:% ./configure --with-fontdir=$INSTDIRThen, PCF fonts are installed in $INSTDIR, and BDF fonts are installedin $INSTDIR/bdf.Here's a list of the other `configure' optioins: --enable-compress whether to compress PCF fonts or not --with-pcf install PCF fonts on Unix, on DOS --with-bdf install BDF fonts --with-type1 install Type1 fonts --with-truetype install TrueType fonts Inform your X server about the new fontsThe step 1.1 converts fonts to a format that X server can read (PCFformat) and put them in proper directory. But, you still have toinform your X server about the new fonts.If $INSTDIR is already in your font path (please check it by thecommand `xset q'), you can tell X server to update font hash table by: $ xset fp rehashIf $INSTDIR is not yet in your font path, you can tell one X sessionto use the installed fonts with: % xset +fp $INSTDIROn some systems, you may have to give absolute pathname to the command`xset'.To make the effect permanent for future X sessions, you probably haveto edit certain files in your X installation, for instance, includethe following line in your ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession. xset +fp $INSTDIR
