how to check the default fonts for HPUX10.20 and HPUX11i

[Tay David]

Hi

My application was loaded in HPUX10.20 and it required "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--10-200-75-75-p-60-iso8859-1" but it cannot find it in the fonts server, therefore it grep a default fonts.

We load the same application to a HPUX11i machine, same problem. But HPUX11i now grep a different default fonts. How can I know what is the default fonts use for these two different OS version. Thanks

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can use the /usr/bin/X11/xlsfonts command to list out the available fonts on the system.

Also, are you using a font server? Perhaps using a system as a font server that has the fonts installed for your applications would be a way to make sure all systems can access the necessary fonts, even if they are not located locally.

Regards,

Also, there is a -l option to the xlsfonts command that prints out more information about the available fonts. One of the columns in the -l output is DFLT, which may give you more details about which are the default fonts.

xlsfonts | grep -i eg

xlsfont | grep -i adobe.

list all fonts installed and available to the Xserver.

xset -q will show the default font paths .... also see the /etc/X11/fs/config file (this is where the paths are configured).
