Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to point the X server on
Solaris 5.8 to a network font server (running linux and XFree 4.3)
at start up?
I have tried to pass it the address of the font server on the command
line but this does not work. In the Xserver man page, it says there
is a -fp option that i can give to add more directories - like the
following command when using vow.
vow -fp tcp/my.font.server:7100
However, this does not work so I am wondering if I can only give it
local dirs at startup? Once X is started, I can point it to the fs
using xset like so:
xset +fp tcp/my.font.server:7100
So I know my font server is serving etc.
Why I want to do this is, I want to make the fonts on the font
server available to all users without them having to manually add
them.
Also, I dont want to go editing lots of different start up scripts
for each window manager that a user may use - CDE, VOW, Exceed,
Openbox...
Is there a way I can make this default on Solaris?
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
Martin
