Working with pcf fonts

Post by spiralofhope »

I have two problems:
1) I want to use the standard 9x15 font
2) I have a new pcf font I want to use

First, I cannot specify fonts at the commandline, like I can with xterm. This is inconvenient.

I do not see the standard collection of fonts when I view the appearance>fonts list.

9x15 is working as expected in xterm.

When I install my pcf font, it is working as expected in xterm. It appears in lxterminal's list of fonts, but when i select it, it shows some other default font instead.

My pcf font is no different from the 9x15 pcf, but 9x15 does not ever appear in lxterminal's list of fonts.

My font installation procedure is:

Code: Select all

cp vga.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
fc-cache
# restart X
--+

I have done some searching on a few occasions, and I've also researched some font conversion software, but I have not found anything useful.

This font issue is my only block for using Terminal full-time. Any help is appreciated.
