Hi all,
could someone help me?
Does anyone know how to set a font server on Linux Red hat 7.3?
Thank you very much

Umm, type: '/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs status'?

Or doesn't that exist in RH7.3? (I've not had a chance to install the copy sitting on my desk just here).

Fabrizio,

RH 7.X (actually 6 and up) by default, installs the xfs font server. According to the man page, it defaults to port 7100.

To check if it's running:

# ps aux |grep xfs

or

# /sbin/service xfs status

If this yields no output, then

# whereis xfs should return its location, if its installed. If it's not installed (unlikely unless you really tweaked your install) you can find the RPM on disc 1 as part of the XFree86 distribution.

more info at man xfs.

HI,

FYI, xfs is in XFree86-xfs RPM.
