Introduction to 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.

Non-Multilib

Compile each font package that you wish to install.

./configure $XORG_CONFIG
make

There are no test suites for the font packages. 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

Multilib

32Bit

Compile each font package that you wish to install:

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

There are no test suites for the font packages. Install each font package:

make install

N32

Compile each font package that you wish to install:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIGN32 &&
make 

There are no test suites for the font packages. Install each font package:

make install

64Bit

Compile each font package that you wish to install:

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

There are no test suites for the font packages. 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/lib64/X11/fonts/OTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-OTF &&
ln -svn $XORG_PREFIX/lib64/X11/fonts/TTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF

Semi-Automated Build

The semi-automated build assumes that you are using subdirectories as discussed in the introduction. It also assumes that the font-7.1.wget file exists in the main working directory (xc). After entering the font subdirectory, unpack the tarballs:

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

Build and install each font package listed in the font-7.1.wget file:

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

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/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
