CDE Fonts

Hi gurus,

Interesting little problem here. IVe got an Xmanager installed on my PC. I use it to connect to the DTlogin / CDE sessions I have running on a number of solaris servers.

If I connect to server A, I get the login server, which I log into as root, I then start a terminal session, and the fonts used within the terminal are small. I log out and log into a different server, server B, I get the login in screen, which I log into as root, start a terminal session and the fonts within that terminal are different, i.e. bigger ?

So, where in the world of /usr/dt do I adjust the default font size / type ? So where server B has a different setting that is used when you start a terminal session up within CDE.

Any ideas ?

Ive checked and compared both /.dtprofile and .dt directories. Ive even checked the /usr/dt/config on both servers. So, where do you choose trhe fonts ?

UPDATE - found it, the root directory isnt in / and is under /usr/export/root !!!! Therefore I was looking at the wrong location. Seems like the application requires it to be in a different location, but you wrongly assume its under / The area I was looking for was ~/.dt/sessions/current.

Categorisation of fonts

This one thing that has been on my mind for at least a decade. At times I need a font for a specific purpose, but there is no designer around to guide me.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
