1### International Fonts Ver.1.1 ###
2
30. Introduction
4
5This directory contains free X11 fonts (BDF format) for all characters
6that Emacs 20 can handle.  They are classified into several
7categories, with one archive file (*.tar) for each category.
8
9This directory also contains the following two files:
10  README -- this file
11  Makefile -- to install fonts
12
131. Instructions for installing these fonts
14
151.1  Suppose that you put copies of font archives in $DISTDIR.
16This directory should contain Makefile as well as this README file and
17archive files.
18
19Suppose that you want to install fonts in the directory $INSTDIR.
20This directory should be readable by your X server.
21
221.1  cd to $DISTDIR
23
241.2  Run the command `make' with one arguement `all'. 
25Then all fonts in the archive files you put in $DISTDIR are installed
26in the directory:
27        /usr/local/share/emacs/fonts
28If this direcotry is different from $INSTDIR, run `make' as follows:
29        % make INSTALLDIR=$INSTDIR all
30
31If you want to install only some portions of the fonts in $DISTDIR,
32read the explanation displayed by:
33        % make
34
351.3  The step 1.2 only converts fonts to a format X server can read
36(PCF format) and put them in proper directory.  You must inform your X
37server about the new fonts.
38You can tell one X session to use the installed fonts with:
39        % xset +fp $INSTDIR
40On some systems, you may have to give absolute pathname to the command
41`xset'.
42
43To make the effect permanent for future X sessions, you probably have
44to edit certain files in yout X installation, for instance, include
45the following line in your ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession.
46        xset +fp $INSTDIR
47
482. List of font archives
49
502.1  Classification of archive files
51
52Fonts are classified by the following regions:
53        European, Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Ethiopic, Misc
54and this directory contains the following kinds of archives.
55
56o REGION.tar
57
58The fonts in these archives are the fonts of normal size (less than or
59equal to 24dots) not included in the standard distribution of X window
60system.  You surely need all of them to correctly display all
61characters supported by Emacs 20.
62
63o REGION-X.tar
64
65The fonts in these archives are fonts of normal size included in the
66standard distribution of X window system.  You may not need them if
67you have already installed X's fonts (distributed under `misc'
68subdirectory).
69
70o REGION-BIG.tar
71
72The fonts in these archives are fonts of big size (greater than
7324dots).  None of them are included in the standard distribution of X
74window system.  You need them only when you surely want to see big
75characters.  But, they do not cover all character sets.
76
77This directory also contains the archives of fonts classified by their
78sizes (see the tail of this file).  They contain both fonts included
79in X's distribution and fonts not included in it.
