X ANSI Fonts

NEXUS - Small
SABVGA - Medium
VGA - Large
VGA11x19 - HUGE
Kates - HUGE NEXUS

Font Package - Some more fonts and some of the same.

cd to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, mv/cp the font there. Run "mkfontdir". Then run "xset fp rehash" or restart X.

OK.....now the apparently hardest part...(Wonder what --help as a command line really does)
Eterm -F FONTNAME
xterm -font FONTNAME
rxvt -fn FONTNAME

Let me note that FONTNAME is NOT the filename in some cases. In example, nex6x10.pcf is nexus. The others mentioned here just happen to have the same NAME as their filename. In most cases, if you want to know the NAME of a font, read the "fonts.dir" file AFTER running "mkfontdir" and it will list the NAME and filename.

REDHAT 6.0 Users!

Apparentlyt Redhat 6.0 screwed something up in XFree86 and the package doesn't recognize the new fonts until XFS is restarted. Rebooting is the easiest way to do this. This also works:

  /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs stop
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start

I've been told this does the trick......I do not use Redhat so cannot confirm.

I welcome suggestions Stumpy
