"...
but show errors

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# xset fp+ /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ 
xset:  bad font path element (#1), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

in this cat_osd tutorial the guy used linux mint and have one hundred fonts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyUyUUaJkMk

dropping fonts to '/usr/share/fonts/some_folder' should be enough.

Thanks wread, works fine.
I "understand" now how the structure of these fonts. I had never seen font with .pcf extension.
Now I need large font
