Hello, I would like to do something that is quite simple with standard Unix
and GNU/Linux hosted X servers, i.e., add a new font. I have the font as a
TTF. For GNU/Linux it is simply necessary to copy the TTF to ~/.fonts/ and
run mkfontdir in that directory.
Apple as usual seem to have made things much less straightforward.
What magic is required to make MacOS 10.4 X11 see the font ? I've tried
copying it to various places such as /System/Library/Fonts
and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ as well adding FontPath specs.
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but the server resolutely refuses to load the font.
