Installing UNICODE fonts with ucs.fonts.tar file

[Jack C. Mahaffey]

I want to install the UNICODE fonts file that I got from the unicode web site. Instructions in the README are as follows:

143 System-wide installation (root access required):
144
145 cd submission/
146 make
147 su
148 mv -b *.pcf.gz /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
149 cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
150 mkfontdir
151 xset fp rehash

Is this correct procedure for HP-UX?

My goal is to install and use the Unicode UTF-8 character set.


Thanks ... jack...

Everything looks familiar except for .. line 148. Not sure about the "mv -b" option. The files *.pcf.gz may need to be gunzip first before moving to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc. After you're done run ..
# xlsfonts | grep
to confirm that they are in. If failed you can always remove the files and re-run "mkfontdir".

The -b option must be available with the bash shell because I looked at the makefile script and it set a variable to use the bash script.

The fonts loaded but it didn't look like it include a font set that included the Trademark Symbol. I kinda expected something in the font name to identify them as utf-8 fonts. Oh well.



Thanks
