Apparently many fonts are built into the kdrive X server that the GPE environment uses. Does anyone know how new fonts are installed? I noticed that there is no "mkfontdir" utility included, and I can't see a file where I can specify a font path, either.
Also, does anyone know how to get a list of the fonts that are built into the server?
All in all, it looks nice, but it has a number of issues that need to be fixed before it can really stand on its own. I'm looking forward to future releases, however (I used to own an Agenda VR3, and I loved that it used the X environment as well).

From the looks of things, to install fonts you just need to place .ttf files in /usr/share/fonts/ttf/ and type 'fc-cache' afterwards - I don't know if you'd have to restart the X server or not, but I doubt it. Hope that helps.

Do bdf or pcf fonts work?

Do bdf or pcf fonts work?
According to this kdrive (http://http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/kdrive.html) info site
those are the only fonts it supports by default. I don't know how it works on GPE.
I am still not clear on how to install fonts.
What package provides fc-cache? We still do not know how to list the available fonts. The above mentioned page says by default fonts named 'fixed' and 'cursor' are available.
My goal is to change the size of the font in rxvt and vim. I have tried
rxvt -font cursorBut it said it could not find the font and was reverting to fixed. I have also tried
-font '-*-fixed-medium-r-*--14-*-*-*-p-*'
style naming, but also with no luck.
I just want to change to a smaller font. I would greatly appreciate help on this.
