.TH FONTSRV 4
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
fontsrv \- file system access to host fonts
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B fontsrv
|
|
[
|
|
.B -m
|
|
.I mtpt
|
|
]
|
|
[
|
|
.B -s
|
|
.I srvname
|
|
]
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B fontsrv
|
|
.B -p
|
|
.I path
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Fontsrv
|
|
presents the host window system's fonts
|
|
in the standard Plan 9 format
|
|
(see
|
|
.MR font (7) ).
|
|
It serves a virtual directory tree mounted at
|
|
.I mtpt
|
|
(if the
|
|
.B -m
|
|
option is given)
|
|
and posted at
|
|
.I srvname
|
|
(default
|
|
.IR font ).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B -p
|
|
option changes
|
|
.IR fontsrv 's
|
|
behavior: rather than serve a file system,
|
|
.I fontsrv
|
|
prints to standard output the contents of the named
|
|
.IR path .
|
|
If
|
|
.I path
|
|
names a directory in the served file system,
|
|
.I fontsrv
|
|
lists the directory's contents.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The fonts are arranged in a two-level tree.
|
|
The root contains directories named for each system font.
|
|
Each font directory contains subdirectories named for
|
|
a point size and whether the subfonts are anti-aliased:
|
|
.B 10
|
|
(bitmap)
|
|
.BR 10a
|
|
(anti-aliased greyscale)
|
|
.BR 12 ,
|
|
.BR 12a ,
|
|
and so on.
|
|
The font directory will synthesize additional sizes on
|
|
demand: looking up
|
|
.B 19a
|
|
will synthesize the 19-point anti-aliased size
|
|
if possible.
|
|
Each size directory contains a
|
|
.B font
|
|
file and subfont files
|
|
named
|
|
.BR x0000.bit ,
|
|
.BR x0020.bit ,
|
|
and so on
|
|
representing 32-character Unicode ranges.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Openfont
|
|
(see
|
|
.MR graphics (3) )
|
|
recognizes font paths beginning with
|
|
.B /mnt/font
|
|
and implements them by invoking
|
|
.IR fontsrv ;
|
|
it need not be running already.
|
|
See
|
|
.MR font (7)
|
|
for a full discussion of font name syntaxes.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
List the fonts on the system:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
% fontsrv &
|
|
% 9p ls font
|
|
.EE
|
|
.LP
|
|
or:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
% fontsrv -p .
|
|
.EE
|
|
.LP
|
|
Run
|
|
.MR acme (1)
|
|
using the operating system's Monaco as the fixed-width font:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
% acme -F /mnt/font/Monaco/13a/font
|
|
.EE
|
|
.LP
|
|
Run
|
|
.MR sam (1)
|
|
using the same font:
|

.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
% font=/mnt/font/Monaco/13a/font sam
|
|
.EE

.SH BUGS
|
|
.PP
|
|
Due to OS X restrictions,
|
|
.I fontsrv
|
|
does not fork itself into the background
|
|
when serving a user-level file system.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Fontsrv
|
|
has no support for X11 fonts;
|
|
on X11 systems, it will serve an empty top-level directory.
|
|
.PP
|
|
On OS X, the anti-aliased bitmaps are not perfect.
|
|
For example, the lower case r in the subfont
|
|
.B Times-Roman/14a/x0000.bit
|
|
appears truncated on the right and
|
|
too light overall.
