Configuration Files > Software Initialisation File Keywords >
FontDPSBase

The FontDPSBase keyword identifies the directory in which PostScript® fonts are stored. At initialisation, the application creates links in the /usr/discreet/font directory that point to fonts in the directory identified by this keyword.

The FontDPSBase keyword uses the following syntax

FontDPSBase <directory_path>

where <directory_path> identifies the directory in which fonts are stored.

Example of use

FontDPSBase /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1

If you do not specify the directory pathname, the application uses /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base. In most cases this directory—created when you installed the Display PostScript software as part of the installation—should be the one identified by the FontDPSBase keyword. Using this directory provides access to PostScript fonts.

NoteTo use TrueType fonts with the application, copy these fonts into the /usr/discreet/font directory. For the application to recognize TrueType fonts in this directory, they must have the .ttf extension.
