Solaris Font Server Step By Step

Table of Contents

Add font server to iitrc

Check

There's a file /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fontserver.cfg, and the content is the same as that of the dragon.

Check

Compare with the fontpath in /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig. There is a different, even in standard paths. So, update it.

Steps

fsadmin -e

$ fsadmin
fsadmin: font server is enabled to start from inetd

$ fsinfo -s iitrc:7100
name of server: iitrc:7100
version number: 2
vendor string:  X Consortium
vendor release number:  6000
maximum request size:   16384 longwords (65536 bytes)
number of catalogues:   1
        all
Number of alternate servers: 0
number of extensions:   0

FONTSERVER=tcp/iitrc:7100; export FONTSERVER
/usr/openwin/bin/fsinfo

— same as above

$ fsinfo -s tcp/iitrc:7100

— same as above, from iitrc and sunny

$ xset fp+ tcp/iitrc:7100
xset:  bad font path element (#42), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

— The reason is X11R5/X11R6 conflict because the xfs is from

/opt/gnu/bin/xfs

/usr/X/bin/fs -config
