[. . . ] By default, the user-specific directory ~/. fonts is already entered in /etc/fonts/fonts. conf. Accordingly, all you need to do to install additional fonts is to copy them to ~/. fonts. You can also insert rules that influence the appearance of the fonts. For example, enter <match target="font"> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> to disable antialiasing for all fonts or <match target="font"> <test name="family"> <string>Luxi Mono</string> <string>Luxi Sans</string> </test> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> The X Window System 169 </edit> </match> to disable antialiasing for specific fonts. By default, most applications use the font names sans-serif (or the equivalent sans), serif, or monospace. These are not real fonts but only aliases that are resolved to a suitable font, depending on the language setting. Users can easily add rules to ~/. fonts. conf to resolve these aliases to their favorite fonts: <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>FreeSans</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>serif</family> <prefer> <family>FreeSerif</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>FreeMono</family> </prefer> </alias> Because nearly all applications use these aliases by default, this affects almost the entire system. Thus, you can easily use your favorite fonts almost everywhere without having to modify the font settings in the individual applications. Use the command fc-list to find out which fonts are installed and available for use. For instance, the command fc-list returns a list of all fonts. To find out which of the available scalable fonts (:scalable=true) contain all glyphs required for Hebrew (:lang=he), their font names (family), their style (style), their weight (weight) and the name of the files containing the fonts, enter the following command: fc-list ":lang=he:scalable=true" family style weight The output of this command could look like the following: Lucida Sans:style=Demibold:weight=200 DejaVu Sans:style=Bold Oblique:weight=200 170 Administration Guide Lucida Sans Typewriter:style=Bold:weight=200 FreeSerif:style=Bold, polkrepko:weight=200 FreeSerif:style=Italic, lezece:weight=80 FreeSans:style=Medium, navadno:weight=80 DejaVu Sans:style=Oblique:weight=80 FreeSans:style=Oblique, lezece:weight=80 Important parameters that can be queried with fc-list: Table 14. 2 Parameter family foundry style Parameters of fc-list Meaning and Possible Values Name of the font family, for example, FreeSans. The manufacturer of the font, for example, urw. The font style, such as Medium, Regular, Bold, Italic or Heavy. The language that the font supports, for example, de for German, ja for Japanese, zh-TW for traditional Chinese or zh-CN for simplified Chinese. The font weight, such as 80 for regular or 200 for bold. The slant, usually 0 for none and 100 for italic. The name of the file containing the font. true for outline fonts or false for other fonts. true for scalable fonts or false for other fonts. true for bitmap fonts or false for other fonts. In connection with fc-list, this option only makes sense for bitmap fonts. lang weight slant file outline scalable bitmap pixelsize The X Window System 171 14. 3 For More Information Install the packages xorg-x11-doc and howtoenh to get more in-depth information about X11. More information on the X11 development can be found on the project's home page at http://www. x. org. [. . . ] The basic mode of operation of rsync does not require any special configuration. rsync directly allows mirroring complete directories onto another system. As an example, the following command creates a backup of the home directory of tux on a backup server named sun: rsync -baz -e ssh /home/tux/ tux@sun:backup The following command is used to play the directory back: rsync -az -e ssh tux@sun:backup /home/tux/ Up to this point, the handling does not differ much from that of a regular copying tool, like scp. rsync should be operated in "rsync" mode to make all its features fully available.
