Xorg Fonts

There are 38 font packages available for Xorg. Once again, the most efficient method of retrieving the source tarballs is to append *.bz2 or *.gz to the URL above.

Alternately, if you chose to use subdirectories, the tarballs can be retrieved as follows. This will prevent multiple versions from being downloaded when multiple versions exist.

 wget http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/svn/x/wget/font-7.1.wget
 cd font
 wget -B http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/font/ -i ../font-7.1.wget

Dependencies

Required

Xorg Apps and Xorg Data

Note: The font-util package (one of the packages in this section) needs to be installed BEFORE all of the font-* packages. If you install in the order that the wget file provides, you will install encodings and font-util before the other packages. The encodings package is probably required for some of the packages in this section, but that needs to be confirmed.

Installation

Non-Multilib

Compile each font package that you wish to install.

 ./configure $XORG_CONFIG
 make

There are no test suites for the font pacakges.

Install each font package.

 make install

After installing all of the font packages, create symlinks to the TrueType font directories.

 install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/fonts
 ln -svn $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/fonts/OTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-OTF
 ln -svn $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/fonts/TTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF

Build the Package

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++  ${BUILD32}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIG32 &&
make 

Install the Package

make install

64-Bit

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++  ${BUILD64}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIG64 && 
make

Install the Package

make install
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/fonts
ln -svn $XORG_PREFIX/lib64/X11/fonts/OTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-OTF
ln -svn $XORG_PREFIX/lib64/X11/fonts/TTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF

Unpack the Package

for i in *.tar.bz2; do
tar xvf $i;
done

Make the Packages

for dir in `sed "s/.tar.bz2//g" ../font-7.1.wget`; do
cd ${dir} &&
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++  ${BUILD32}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIG32 &&
make &&
make install &&
make distclean &&
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++  ${BUILD64}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIG64 && 
make &&
make install &&
cd ..;
done

install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/fonts
ln -svn $XORG_PREFIX/lib64/X11/fonts/OTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-OTF
ln -svn $XORG_PREFIX/lib64/X11/fonts/TTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF

Next install the Xorg Xserver

Contents

Each Xorg font package installs a multitude of files. The interested party can issue the following 'make install' command to create a complete list of files installed and their installed location in the main working directory (xc):

   make install 2>&1 | tee ../../<name_of_font>.files
