Ia. How to install Hebrew fonts on your Workstation X environment:
If you have an Workstation and you want to use X applications with
Hebrew support, the first thing to do is to install Hebrew fonts on
your X environment. The following steps will instruct you how to
install the Hebrew fonts provided in the current directory.
1. FTP the heb-unixfonts.tar file from the current directory and untar
it. This file contains the files heb6x13.snf and heb 10x20.snf. Install
them on your Workstation in the /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc directory:
2. Go to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc directory, login as su and run :
mkfontdir
This command will update the file fonts.dir by adding the Hebrew
fonts definitions ( the two lines which start with heb..)
3. In the same directory, update the fonts.alias file by adding alias
names (which are easy for you to remember) pointing to the new
Hebrew fonts. For example, adding the following two lines to the
fonts.alias file :
small_heb -yossi-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-hebrew-13-120
-75-75-c-60--
big_heb -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-hebrew-20-200-75-75-c
-100-iso8859-1
you have defined two new names for the two Hebrew fonts installed:
small_heb - for the small Hebrew font
big_heb - for the big Hebrew font.
4. Return to your account and run :
xset fp rehash
This command causes the X server to reread the font databases in
the current font path and add the new fonts names to it.
