Operating Systems AIX Need help on Volume group for AIX 6.1 Post 302970864 by bakunin on Tuesday 12th of April 2016 05:35:04 PM

It makes no sense to create anything else than scalable VGs any more.

On the downside scalable VGs cannot be used in AIX versions prior to 5.3. Should you need to move the VG between such an (already completely) unsupported system and the AIX 6.1 LPAR you are the exception to this rule.

On the upside: everything else. The minimally slower operation of some of the VG-manipulating commands set aside (you probably will not even notice the difference) set aside scalable VG are more flexible, more easily extendable and offer more maximum space.

I hope this helps.

NAME
fonttosfnt - Wrap a bitmap font in a sfnt (TrueType) wrapper SYNOPSIS
fonttosfnt [ options ] -o file.ttf [ -- ] font... DESCRIPTION
Wrap a bitmap font or a set of bitmap fonts in a sfnt (TrueType or OpenType) wrapper. OPTIONS
-v Be verbose. -c Do not crop glyphs. This usually increases file size, but may sometimes yield a modest decrease in file size for small character cell fonts (terminal fonts). -b Write byte-aligned glyph data. By default, unaligned data is written, which yields a smaller file size. -r Do not reencode fonts. By default, fonts are reencoded to Unicode whenever possible. -g n Set the type of scalable glyphs that we write. If n is 0, no scalable glyphs are written; this is legal but confuses most current software. If n is 1, a single scalable glyph (the undefined glyph) is written; this is recommended, but triggers a bug in current versions of FreeType. If n is 2 (the default), a sufficiently high number of blank glyphs are written, which works with FreeType but increases file size. -m n Set the type of scalable metrics that we write. If n is 0, no scalable metrics are written, which may or may not be legal. If n is 1, full metrics for a single glyph are written, and only left sidebearing values are written for the other glyphs. If n is 2, scal- able metrics for all glyphs are written, which increases file size and is not recommended. The default is 1. -- End of options. BUGS
Some of the font-level values, notably sub- and superscript positions, are dummy values. SEE ALSO
X(7), Xserver(1), Xft(3x). Fonts in X11. AUTHOR
The version of Fonttosfnt included in this X.Org Foundation release was originally written by Juliusz Chroboczek <jch@freedesktop.org> for the XFree86 project. X Version 11 fonttosfnt 1.0.4 FONTTOSFNT(1)
