Linux Fonts

hi,

i tried installing hindi fonts in my linux system..

my sysconfig is FreeBSD 4 and KDE ver 3.4 but i guess that the basic configuration of all KDE should work fine..

1. download the required fonts to any directory..

http://tdil.mit.gov.in/download/openfonts.htm
http://www.sanskritweb.org/cakram/

2. goto X11 directory of you system.. it something like /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
3. create a directory with any name like hindiFonts [ you may need to be root user. if yes do su and then mkdir]
4. run the following commands
$> mkfontdir hindiFonts
$> mkfontscale hindiFonts
5. you are almost done. all you need to do is now add the following line in your /etc/X11/XConfig file under the
Section “Files”
FontPath “/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hindiFonts/”
..
..
EndSection
6. save and restart your X. and you are done..
