18[The rest of these notes come from the original X11R5 implementation
19 in 1991, and have been updated slightly for the xfs 1.1.0 modular release,
20 but are otherwise a bit stale.]

22Installation instructions for fontserver
23
241 - If you don't want to use the default config file location,
25run configure with the --with-default-config-file=path option to
26point to the correct place.
27
28An example config file is in ./config
29
302 - modify the config file so the 'catalogue'
31parameter points to a set of valid font directories.
32
33At this point the test programs should work.  Start the font server
34(xfs &) and try some tests.  Most of the clients take
35a command line switch of where to find the server, and
36FSlib understands the environment variable FONTSERVER.
37The format is the same as Xlib, (ie, hostname:server_number).
38
39The doc directory contains various pieces of documentation on the font
40server and associated software:
41
42    xfs-design.xml	- DocBook source of fontserver design overview
43
44Tested font formats:
45
46The fontserver has been tested with PCF, Speedo, SNF and BDF formats.
47
48Tested environments:
49
50the fontserver and clients have been built & tested on SPARC running
514.x and a DECstation 3100 running V4.0.  it should work ok on any 32
52bit UNIX w/ BSD sockets.
