Re: [foxboro] Linux box as operator workstation


I didn't want to go into this mainly because I don't know how to set up a 
font server on an I/A machine that does not have NCD X terminal software 
installed.  That comes with a font server.  If anyone knows another way of 
putting a font server on please let me know.  Basically you just add the 
font server machine and port number into the font path.  New section 17

17.  Set up the automounter to access fonts.  Add this line to
/etc/auto.misc
fonts 200.200.200.200:/usr/fox/wp/fonts
This will automatically mount the fonts under /misc/fonts
Modify /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to add extra font path
Section "Files"
        FontPath "unix/:7100"
        FontPath "152.152.152.152/:7000"
        FontPath "/misc/fonts"
EndSection

New Bit Setting up NCD Font server
On a Foxboro machine with NCD Xterminal software on
Create Edit file  /usr/lib/X11/ncd/fs/config
port = 7000
clone-self = on
use-syslog = off
catalogue = 
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/75dpi/,/
usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/dw75dpi/,/usr/lib/X
11/ncd/fonts/pcf/dw100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/java/
error-file = /usr/lib/X11/ncd/fs/fs-errors
# in decipoints
default-point-size = 120
default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100
error-method = file

Now start the NCD Font server
/opt/ncd/5.1.140/hostside/Solaris/ncdfs -config /usr/lib/X11/ncd/fs/config
You may want to put the above command in user_apps.dat
