an attempt to use a fixed font is made. Even if a fixed font is found and

to use scalable fonts. </p>

the following two ways: </p>

<ul><li>The X configuration file <p> The global XFree86Config or xorg.conf

file is located in the /etc or /etc/X11 directories. You may also have .XF86Config

or .XF86Config-4 (user config version) in your home directory. </p>

<div class="p">If

the following is in the X configuration file, the font server is configured

To enable

75 and 100 dpi scalable fonts, remove <samp class="codeph">:unscaled</samp> from the

above two lines.</div>

|
||
|
|
<pre>FontPath "unix/:7100"</pre>
|

Similar to the steps above
|
||
|
|
find the lines and remove the <samp class="codeph">:unscaled</samp> from the lines for

|
75 and 100 dpi fonts. For example change: <pre>catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/korean,

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,

|
||
|
|
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,</pre>
|

to look like this:
|
||
|
|
<pre>catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/korean,

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
