Installing fonts in Solaris 10 x86 10/08

Hello,
I request your help in solving an issue which I am facing.
I installed Solaris 10 x86 version on my PC. Installation went on well.
I opened a gnome-terminal to enter commands and issued few commands. However, the font did not match my taste. Hence, I downloaded my favourite font (.ttf format) and installed it.
The installation steps were: Creation of .fonts directory in my $HOME. Copying the font (i.e. the luximr.ttf file) into that directory. Created the fonts.dir file. Issued the command xset fp+ ~/.fonts; and finally xset fp rehash command. Then I issued the command 'xlsfonts' to verify whether the font I installed was really recognised by the system. The output of the xlsfonts command showed the font which I had installed.
Now, in the gnome-terminal's Edit -> profiles->Default->Edit section, I unselected the "Use system default font" and clicked on the button for selecting the font. But, in the menu of the fonts, I was not able to see the font which I had installed and so I was not able to select it. I tried logging-out and relogging-in, but still did not work. I tried rebooting the machine and then logging in. Even then, the list did not show the font which I had installed.
How do I get the font to be displayed in the list for font selection? Am I missing any important step?
Kindly suggest.
With 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

  • Install Java on solaris x86

    Hello - I am connected to one Solaris x86 machine remotely. It does not have GUI in it and only command line execution. I would like to install Java on this machine. Can you please provide me the link where I can get java and instructions to install it - I surfed in previous topics - But no result found
    Thank you!

    Java is built-in.
    Or you can download a new version from java.sun.com on a different machine and then sftp it over to the Solaris box.

  • Installing Beehive on Solars x86

    Hi,
    I wonder if it is possible to install beehive on an x86 Solaris box. In particular I would like to install it into a zone. I understand this is currently unsupported, but is it possible?
    Günther

    Unfortunately, there is no Solaris x86 support for Beehive at this time. You can run the database for Beehive on Solaris x86 I believe, but the Beehive Application Tier needs to be run on Linux or Windows x86 or Solaris Sparc.

  • Install error for Oracle 10g on Solaris x86 64-bit.  NETCA won't run

    Hi All,
    I'm installing Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Solaris x86 64-bit. I run the Oracle installer and all runs well until the NETCA portion of the install. It then errors (error file below). When i attempt to run NETCA outside of the installer i'm getting the same error output. I have verified my OS version and that all dependent packages are installed. I'm not sure what is causing this. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

  • Need 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using containers and NFS

    I'm looking for an 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using 2-3 containers. I need to have the NFS server reside in the global zone or on a 3rd container visable to the two rac containers.
    Please share me installation guide!
    Thank you!
    PS - I currently have run into an install issue -
    Can't change ownership on /oracle/products/11.2.0/ocr/: not owner at /oracle/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_lib.pm line 5014.
    I suspect the NFS share params from the NFS server in the global zone are not 100% correct to the two rac zones/containers.

    Have you visited Oracle Support Services website (formerly metalink) to determine if your desired configuration is supported?
    Last time I looked it was not.
    That said Oracle database installation guides are fully documented online.

  • Installing Adobe Type 1 Fonts on Solaris

    We want to install ocra fonts on a workstation running Solaris 10. Currently the fonts are installed in a Solaris 8 server in:
    /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
    On the workstation, we ftp'd the files from the server to /tmp on the workstation. We ran /usr/dt/bin/sdtfontadm and tried to use it to install the fonts. When you select install, 'Go To' /tmp and click 'Choose,'
    we get a segmentation core dump. We have called this into Sun as a separate issue.
    So we tried the manual way as described in IDAutomation.com (Installing Fonts on UNIX for Oracle Reports) and Oracle (Doc ID: 171464.1)
    Both are pretty much the same. The following are the instructions:
    1) copy ocra.pfa to /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/outline
    2) chown root:bin; chmod 644
    3) Create a link of the file to /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
    4) Edit fonts.scale and add 1 to the number on top of the file.
    5) add the following line:
    ocra-pfa -adobe-ocra-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
    6) Run: /usr/openwin/bin/mkfontdir
    7) Run: /usr/openwin/bin/xset fp rehash
    8) Verify the font installation using /usr/dt/bin/sdtfontadm
    When we run step 8, the font is there but the example tesxt is not OCR but courier.
    We tried reformatting the workstation (due to the core dump) and setting it up to default to en_iso8859-1.
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks!
    Frank

    Windows Type 1 fonts each consist of two files, a .pfb file containing the font itself and a .pfm file containing extended font metrics used for formatting text on the host computer. If you don't have both files for a particular font, the font is uninstallable and unusable. To install a Type 1 font on a Windows system, the .pfb and .pfm for the font should be in the same directory. Right click on the font and click on Install or Install as shortcut. Install copies the two files to the \Windows\Fonts directory and subsequently uses the font from that location. Install as shortcut uses the font from the location the files are currently located in with the caveat that you must keep those files in that location or else the fonts will no longer be accessible.
    If you actually attempted to install Adobe Type Manager on 32-bit Windows 7 (or later) system, you may have destroyed your system's ability to properly install and use Type 1 fonts at all. If this has happened, you may need to reinstall Windows! (If I recall correctly, the installer for ATM refuses to run at all on Windows 64-bit versions, sparing you the destruction of your Type 1 rendering!)

  • Help with oracle 10g install on solaris x86

    hi, i downloaded solaris 10 from oracle site (sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso) and i have installed it on vmware. i was going through the installation guide for oracle 10 for solaris x86 and while on the pre-installation steps, i issued this command
    # /bin/isainfo -kv
    and it gave me
    # 64-bit amd64 kernel modules
    instead of
    # 32-bit i386 kernel modules
    as the guide expected.
    please what can i do, cos the guide says if i dont see the later, the installation cannot complete.
    thnx

    First check you Operating System Bit information whether it is 64 or 32 bit , for this first check any of the command path
    Example ls command
    $ which ls
    /usr/sbin/ls
    $ file /usr/sbin/ls
    It will show you whether your OS is 64 bit or 32 bit and accordingly download the software from below link ,if it is showing 64 bit os then you have to download 64 bit database software .

  • Please suggest the fastest way to install Solaris x86 PC 30 boxes

    I've already tested one and it's successfully installed.
    I have to install 30 boxes , all are same spec.
    Please advise the fastest procedure to install.
    Note : There is no sparc machine.

    Only problem with imaging a Solaris x86 box is that your machines will end up with the same hostid (which is pseudo-randomly generated at Solaris installation time for x86). This may, or may not, be a problem, depending on what commercial software you use...
    To avoid this, you have to use jumpstart, or do some serious hacking.

  • Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

    Greetings, all.
    Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine.

    I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

    After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
    not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
    There are two ways to do this:
    Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
    Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

    /opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
    I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
    At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
    Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
    Thanks

    Dear Gents,
    I have one X86 Solaris Server configured and installed to be Sun Management Center Server.
    successfully i could monitor the Sun Solaris Servers after i have installed the SMC agent on them.
    my problem is that i could not install the SMC agent on Red Hat Linux. as i could not find an easy document or steps to do so.
    could you guide please?If you still have a copy of your SunMC media around, the same ["es-inst"|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/command-line-1?l=en&a=view] program you use to install Solaris Agents should work on Linux as well. It autodetects OS type and will install Solaris packages or RPMs as appropriate.
