Being more accustomed to the mit-style of X11 servers and fonts, I am
unfamiliar with the cnf font format used in HPUX. The problem I am
having is simply how do I add a font? The font I have is in bdf format.
In mit land, one simply runs bdftosnf, runs mkfontdir, and does an
xset fp rehash.
I can't figure out how to do this with cnf fonts. I've read the
(appropriate?) manuals, but haven't been able to find the information
I need.
Thanks in advance,
jorgy

By "cnf" do you mean "scf"? The HP-UX X11 server uses the same font
formats as MIT. To save disk space, we also allow the ".snf" font to
be passed through compress(1) resulting in a ".scf" font. The HP
server will accept fonts in ".bdf", ".snf" or ".scf" format and do
whatever magic is necessary to use the font. I.e., a ".bdf" font will
be run through bdftosnf(1) and a ".scf" font will be run through
uncompress(1) by the server.

A cnf font is just a snf font that's been run through compress. If you want to make a cnf font, just do compress < font.snf > font.cnf -- Chan Benson HP Fort Collins chan@hpfcmi.hp.com

CNF font files are just compressed SNF files. try :- compress < font.snf > font.cnf Hope this helps Ken Green --ukcrc--
