How to install .ttf fonts in Solaris 10 x86 10/08 ?

Hi,
I have installed Solaris 10 x86 10/08 on my Pentium-II machine. It is working fine. I am using Java Desktop Session 3 (JDS3).
I have to install a few true type fonts (.ttf) to the machine and make it accessible in the gnome-terminal. I have the font files, that is .ttf files, in my system, but they are not installed.
Could you please give me the procedure to achieve this? Should I install any patches for this?
Regards,
Sreeram

Hello Lubos Kocman,
Thanks for your reply. I followed your suggestion and put the .ttf fonts in the /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType directory and rebooted the system.
[Actually, you had mentioned to put them in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF directory. But I did not find the TTF directory. Instead I found TrueType directory and so I felt it appropriate to place them here.]
But still I am unable to access and choose those fonts from my gnome-terminal's font list. Have I missed something? The same result was obtained when I placed the fonts in the ~/.fonts directory also. Please guide me if I am doing something wrong.
How do we ensure that the system has recognised the fonts which have been installed newly? Any commands to confirm this? Are there any log files pertaining to fonts, where we can know whether the fonts were recognised by the system, and if not recognised, the reason for the same?
Also, I would like to paste the contents of /etc/release of my system:
Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86
Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
Assembled 27 October 2008
Should I install any patches to this version of Solaris 10 to get the .ttf fonts installed. As mentioned earlier, I am using Java Desktop System, Release 3 desktop.
Kindly guide me in installing/accessing the .ttf fonts.
Regards,
Sreeram

  • How to install lan card in solaris 11

    Hi,
    can some one please tell me how to install lan card in solaris nevada snv_55b X86, 5.11
    When i do ifconfig -a it only displays loop back driver only
    lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
    The other driver was missing can please some one tell me how to install that?

    Well, the lan card has to be one that is supported by Solaris and you need to have the proper driver installed before you'll be able to get it running. A good starting point would be to look at the Solaris Hardware Compatability List (HCL) at:
    http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/index.html
    There is a blue box which says "Check out the X86 device list" which may be a good place to start. You won't be able to pick out Solaris version you're running for the OS type menu but if you can find the device anywhere you should at least be able to determine which driver it uses so you can check that against your system. If you don't have the driver package installed, you'll have to install it before you can see the device. If course, if the device isn't supported you're stuck. At least the HCL can help you select a new interface card which should work.

  • How to install euro font ....

    Hi All
    I am facing a problem the details are like this.
    1. Solaris version 5.8 (spark, SUNW, Sun-Fire-V250)
    2. We are unable to insert Euro character in our Sw tool. When inserted a Euro character (? Symbol comes) the same happens when a document is ported from windows to Solaris with Euro Characters.
    3 we are unable to see Euro characters in other tools of Solaris also..
    4. In the Support Team gave a hint to Install ISO-8859-15 font to support Euro character.
    5. We would appreciate if any one suggest us,
    (i) How to install this Font (ISO-8859-15) support to See Euro Characters in out Tools.
    (ii). Is the same problem exists in Solaris 9 as well..?
    (iii) Will any Advanced Star office (Suit 7) installation rectify this problem..?
    Thnaks

    Could any one is able to install ISO-8859-15 support
    from any of the SOlaris 9 or 10 patches..?The ISO-8859-15 locale support isn't supposed to come from
    installing patches to the OS, it should be part of the base Solaris
    installation.
    Make sure that you have packages like this installed (you
    should find them on one of the "1 of X" CDs):
    % pkginfo|grep i15
    system      SUNWi15cs            X11 ISO8859-15 Codeset Support
    system      SUNWi15rf            X11 ISO-8859-15 required fonts

  • How to install Kannada font in blackberry 10OS

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me how to install Kannada font in blackberry 10OS??

    Hello,
    Are you merely looking for a font? Or do you want to interact with the device in that language? I cannot quite tell from your words. Nevertheless, refer:
    Article ID: KB33755 Supported languages on BlackBerry 10
    If you do not see your desired language in that KB nor on the device Settings screen, then it's not available.
    Good luck!

I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

    There are already two Bengali fonts in iOS.  You can see them on the list, named Bangla.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5484
    These are of course for standard Unicode support.  You can read this site, can't you?
    http://www.bangladesh.gov.bd/index.php?lang=bn
    You can't add the non-standard fonts required for non-Unicode sites.
    For a keyboard, you would have to check the app store for something like Bangla Keyboard to use with copy/paste.

    OS X already comes with Gujarati fonts, so you don't need to install anything.  Can you not read this page?
    http://www.gujaratsamachar.com/
    If you want to type Gujarati, you need to go to system preferences/international/input sources and check the box for Gujarati, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar, plus the box for Keyboard Viewer.  Then select Gujarati from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type.  To see which key does what, select Keyboard Viewer from the same menu.
    I recommend you do NOT install Gujarati fonts from the internet, because OS X only works right with those provided by Apple.  Especially avoid non-Unicode fonts from long ago like Saumil.  The international standard is Unicode now.

    Your iPad and iPhone should already have Tamil fonts.  Can you really not see a web page like this one?
    http://ta.wikipedia.org/
    There is however no keyboard yet.  If that is what you are talking about, search the app store for "tamil" to see if there is a keyboard app which might be useful for some purposes.  Also try the Keyman app.
    You can ask Apple for a Tamil keyboard via

  • How to install OpenGL files on Solaris 10

    I found OpenGL stuff is missing from the Solaris 10 system when I installed gtkglext from its source code and got an error after the 'configure' command.
    bash-3.00$ ./configure
    checking GL/glx.h usability... no
    checking GL/glx.h presence... no
    checking for GL/glx.h... no
    configure: error: Cannot find GLX header
    I remember that for software groups during Solaris 10 installation, I did choose the Entire Solaris Software Group to guarantee the developement packages are installed. Could you give some help on how to install opengl stuff from Solaris 10 installation disks?

    It's hard to believe that no one here (official Sun
    developer network) can answer my question. Maybe few
    people develop under Solaris.That must be it.

  • How to install new fonts using code in java?

    Hi,
    How to install font in a system using java, provided i know the font file's address. Is there any specific class/method available for this purpose? Copying the file to windows/font directory will work for windows, but I think it wont be generic to all operating system. So is there anyway to install a font using code?
    I also want to know how to make the font available only until my application window is open, It must be available to all other external applications like photoshop, word etc., When I close my window it must un-install automatically or be made not available to other applications. Any suggestions? Please do help! Thanks in advance...

    I have already tried the above, But the font created using input stream is available only to my application* and is not viewable in photoshop.*. I realize this. Like I said, I know of no method that will register/deregister the font with the system. You'll have to create your own method that takes the operating system into account.
    String os = System.getPropery("os.name");
    if(os.equals("Windows Vista")) {
    }else if(os.equals("Windows XP")) {
    }else if(os.equals("Windows NT")) {
    }else if(os.equals("Solaris")) {

    Windows XPYou'll need the standard font directory for each system. I think all the window ones are C:\Windows\Font\ . Each OS probably has its own little quark (like having several font directories or throwing different security exceptions). Undoubtly it's going to require some research and a bit of trial and error. You can probably work some magic with Runtime.exec(...) as well.
    The alternative would be to google for some libraries that offer similar functionality, or promt the user for the system's font directory and save the location of the directory in a file somewhere for future use (so the user dosen't have to specify the font directory everytime he/she starts up the application).

  • Can't remember how to install a font

    I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8. I can't remember where to put new fonts and/or how to install them in Photoshop. I've been searching the web and have found no useful info! I downloaded the new fonts to Library/Fonts, but that's obviously not the main place to keep them so Photoshop can find them. Where should they be, and do I have to do something special to install them in Photoshop? (I have Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.1)

    Installing new fonts is very easy. All you need to do is:
    Double-click on the font.ttf file
    Click on “Install Font”
    When you double click on a font file, other than being able to install it, you’ll also see a font character preview showing the font face.  This window will also let you preview any stylized versions (bold, italic, etc) of the font that are available and tell you if it’s installed or not. This is done through the Font Book app, which can also be launched separately to manage your typefaces.

    Proxy configurations are most often done within the application software that needs that function and not necessarily done in the OS.   That permits you to make very specific settings and not just generic global settings that could conflict with other software.
    Can you tell us what research you have done on the topic? 
    For example, have you glanced through a Google search on "solaris web proxy" ?
    If you are hoping to use a specific web server application your forum post might be better placed in a forum space for that software instead of in a general OS forum space.   What application software will you be using?
