Xserver fonts printers

Raimonds Bukbards — Thu, 20 Feb 2003 12:26:45 GMT

I'am an Oracle DBA and have little knowledge about HP-UX 11.11.
I need to set up Reports Server 9i with ISO8859-13 fonts. It requires ISO8859-13 fonts to be
installed, enabled etc. at OS level.
I don't have it on HP-UX, but I have ISO8859-13 fonts on my Linux Mandrake 9 box.

Can anyone please tell me how to do it? (font installing from Linux to HP-UX)

Or point me to one good HP-UX fonts architecture site.

Because I have absolutly no idea, how are fonts, printer configuration, X 11,
Lang parameter etc. working.
I am good at Oralce, but HP-UX is a whole different world. I know its kind of RTFM question, but still ... help pls.

My advise on setting up fonts under X11 under hpux :

setup xfs on your linux system, as the fonts are installed here I suspect they are included in the fontservers catalog file, check man xfs for details. Use xlsfonts | grep -i ISO8859-13 to confirm.

Next step add the linux fontserver to the hpux fontpath : use xset fp+ tcp/:7000 where 7000 = port of xfs . see man xfs

The hpux X env should now be able to access fonts from the linux system.

I'm sure there are otherways ... install the fonts on the hpux system for instance : see man mkfontdir and
