|
32 To run Mule as a client of X, X's font is required for each
|
|
|
33 character set (e.g. GB2312 [Chinese], JISX0208 [Japanese]).
|
|
|
34 The fonts you can use on your X server are listed by the
|
|
|
35 command @code{xlsfonts}.
|
|
|
36 @quotation
|
|
|
37 @code{% xlsfonts | egrep -i gb2312}
|
|
|
38 @end quotation
|
|
|
39 will show you fonts for Chinese (GB).
|
|
|
40 @quotation
|
|
|
41 @code{% xlsfonts | egrep -i jisx0208}
|
|
|
42 @end quotation
|
|
|
43 will show you fonts for Japanese.
|
|
|
44 @quotation
|
|
|
45 @code{% xlsfonts | egrep -i ksc5601}
|
|
|
46 @end quotation
|
|
|
47 will show you fonts for Korean.
|
|
|
48 @quotation
|
|
|
49 @code{% xlsfonts | egrep -i big5}
|
|
|
50 @end quotation
|
|
|
51 will show you fonts for Big5.
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
53 If you can't find necessary fonts, check your 'Font Path' by:
|
|
|
54 @quotation
|
|
|
55 @code{% xset q}
|
|
|
56 @end quotation
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58 Under the default setting of X.V11R5, fonts for Japanese and
|
|
|
59 Korean are in the directory /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc. If
|
|
|
60 these directories are not in your Font Path, put them in by:
|
|
|
61 @quotation
|
|
|
62 @code{% xset fp+ /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc}
|
|
|
63 @end quotation
|
|
|
64 If there are no such directories, you must create X's font
|
|
|
65 from BDF files by yourself @xref{Building fonts}.
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
67 Now, you can run Mule on X. If you want to use different
|
|
|
68 fonts than defaults, you can specify them by command line
|
|
|
69 switch or your X's resource file (try `man mule' or look
|
|
|
70 into the file `mule/etc/mule.1').

75 X.V11R5 is distributed with many fonts (BDF format). Those
|
|
|
76 are under X.V11R5/mit/fonts/bdf/misc:
|
|
|
77 @quotation
|
|
|
78 jiskan16.bdf, jiskan24.bdf (Japanese)
|
|
|
79 hanglm16.bdf, hanglm24.bdf (Korean)
|
|
|
80 @end quotation
|
|
|
81 and under X.V11R5/contrib/clients/cxterm/fonts:
|
|
|
82 @quotation
|
|
|
83 cclib16st.bdf, cclib24st.bdf (Chinese GB)
|
|
|
84 hku-ch16.bdf (Chinese Big5)
|
|
|
85 @end quotation
|
|
|
86 To create fonts from these files, you'd better make a
|
|
|
87 directory for them (say ${font}):
|
|
|
88 @example
|
|
|
89 % mkdir ${font}
|
|
|
90 % cd ${font}
|
|
|
91 % bdftopcf xxx/jiskan24.bdf >jiskan24.pcf
|
|
|
92 % bdftopcf yyy/hanglm24.bdf >hanglm24.pcf
|
|
|
93 ...
|
|
|
94 % mkfontdir
|
|
|
95 % xset fp+ `pwd`
|
|
|
96 @end example
|
|
|
97
|
|
|
98 Now you can check if you are really able to use these fonts by
|
|
|
99 'xlsfonts' command. You must use 'bdftosnf' instead of
|
|
|
100 'bdftopcf' if you are using X.V11R4.

|
|
|
105 Mule requires more fonts than in the distribution of
|
|
|
106 X.V11R5. For instance, in the case of using EGG with cWnn's
|
|
|
107 cserver, font for SiSheng characters is necessary. The
|
|
|
108 directory `fonts' under the ftp directory of Mule contains
|
|
|
109 those fonts.
