Notes and Procedures
The following describe some procedures and notes specific to using Maya with Linux. Read to learn about variations to features and to common procedures when using Maya in Linux.
Changing system font display settings
You cannot edit the font display in Maya Linux using the system font settings. Instead, edit the MayaScheme file in /usr/autodesk/maya/app-defaults/ to modify the additional resources used by Maya to change the system font display settings. This file is searched in the following location order:
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/MayaScheme
$MAYA_LOCATION/app-defaults/MayaScheme
To list available fonts, use the xlsfonts command. Alternatively, you can use the xfontsel command to generate a font string.
See also “Using the MayaScheme file to set fonts, font sizes, and colors” in the Linux chapter of the Installation and Licensing guide.
