Use Adobe Helvetica as the sans serif user
interface font (among others, dtlogin, front
panel buttons, menu titles) instead of Lucida.
While there, move X Consortium comment back
to the top.
This change applies only to FreeBSD.
The following patch gets the Lucida Sans font working on my FreeBSD system. Before applying this, title bars and menu bars are displayed in the "-misc-fixed" font. This is on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3.
The following font families
(or their aliases) will be used:
-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--*-
-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--*-
-adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--*-
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-
-adobe-helvetica-bold-o-normal--*-
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-
-adobe-helvetica-medium-o-normal--*-
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-
-adobe-symbol-medium-r-normal--*-
-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--*-
-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--*-
-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--*-
-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--*-
-b&h-lucidasans-medium-r-normal-sans-*-
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-*-
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-*-
The files will be installed in
/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C
This directory should be added to the
X server font path:
xset fp+ /usr/dt/config/xfonts/C
and/or via
FontPath "/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C"
in the "Files" section of the xorg.conf file.
