To Configure VNI Fonts for Unix/X-Windows
English | Vietnamese
The file vnifonts.tar contains several families of VNI character encoding
fonts in BDF format use in X-windows.
INSTALLATION:
To install VNI fonts, first decompress the vnifonts.tar.Z
$ uncompress vnifonts.tar.Z
Then unpack the vnifonts.tar
$ tar xvf vnifonts.tar
This will unpack the fonts into the current directory so change directory to
wherever you want the fonts files to reside before doing this. It will
create a ./vni directory and puts the actual BDF files in ./vni/fonts.
Change directory to vni then type './setup' to tally the fonts file and add
them to the X-server. You should already be in X-windows mode at this point.
$ cd vni
$ ./setup -il
If your X-server can take font in either Portable Character Format (PCF) or
Server Natrual Format (SNF) try:
$ ./setup -pil
STATUP INSTALLATION:
The -i option in the ./setup will generate a script named "serve_vni" in the
current diretory that you can run to install VNI fonts when the X-server
is started.
To install VNI fonts everytime the X-server started, insert the content of
'serve_vni' at the beginning of the ~/.xinitrc file.
for example:
exec xset +fp /home/nguyen/vni/fonts
HP-VUE 3.0 USER:
If you are using HP Vue 3.0, create a file named 'sessionetc' in your
~/.vue/sessions directory containing the content of 'serve_vni'.
for example:
xset +fp /home/nguyen/vni/fonts
Besure that 'sessionetc' has executable permision: chmod +x sessionetc
