did you amend the symlink to point to /mnt/us/usr after you placed the new files on FAT.
mntroot rw cd / ln -fs /mnt/us/usr mntususr mntroot ro Quote:
It is worth pointing out that you can grab a not "totally weird" one from debian. however mine is setup in this way to allow for maximum flexibility with minimal rootfs impact. sorry for the extra effort. You can also use SED to replace the value in the BINARY. let me go find that command.. *goes and finds SED command* ah yeah this kind of thing Last edited by twobob; 01-06-2013 at 09:36 AM.

Fonts are defnitely in /mnt/us/usr/share/fonts* And the Sym link "mntususr" points to /mnt/us/usr/, permissions are 0777... But the error stays the same: Spoiler:
I'm not sure, what's weird in here. Maybe that embedded linux on my KPW. I'm tending to reset everything and try from the beginning... |

EDIT: from Xephyr-5 --help Quote:
here's some useful info too I suppose (I have custom fonts on mine on the root dir as you can see, just go pick something you want to use...) [root@kindle 100dpi]# pwd Quote:
Spoiler:
There are two types of important files: fonts.dir in each of these paths, and fonts.alias in some of the paths. For example, let's go to /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi, and open the files. The files look similar to this: Quote:
Quote:
Hope this helps. For your needs this would equate to something like: (random font chosen) [root@kindle 100dpi]# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./Xephyr-5 :1 -title "L:A_N:application_ID:xephyr_PC:N" -screen 600x800 -cc 4 -dpi 155 -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/ -fn "-bitstream-charter-bold-r-normal--11-80-1 00-100-p-69-iso8859-1" or with an alias: (other random font) [root@kindle 100dpi]# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Xephyr-5 :1 -title "L:A_N:application_ID:xephyr_PC:N" -screen 600x800 -cc 4 -dpi 155 -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/ -fn "lucidasans-bolditalic-8" Last edited by twobob; 01-06-2013 at 02:33 PM.

I see dpi settings for the font. What about that? The KPW has 212. Twobob used a Kindle Touch that only got 167 (??) dpi. Nice screenshot by the way, its really dark.
edit: mhh, maybe now with the default font switch it will work. Last edited by DuckieTigger; 01-06-2013 at 01:40 PM. |

I am no expert on these font things but I am digging around for what I can find. The solution is there for the taking. |

I dug a bit further.
( I hid all my main kindle screens via wmctrl to show you this) [root@kindle 100dpi]# xfd -fn "fixed" as you can see on mine that would equate to -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1 so... err... [root@kindle 100dpi]# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./Xephyr-5 :1 -title "L:A_N:application_ID:xephyr_PC:N" -screen 600x800 -cc 4 -dpi 155 -fp /mnt/us/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ -fn "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120- 75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1" For you???

Although. Back to the thrust of the thread...
A native version of this would be a BAZZZZIIILLION times better. |

Tried switches -fn an -fp, what leads to: Spoiler:
Yay, I altered the Error! So, I checked: Path was correct, Font was present... why can't Xephyr use it? I tried with several fonts and paths, to the same result Next, I tried Spoiler:
Obvously, there is no font named "fixed" on my KPW? BTW: In my /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc, there are only three (3) files: fonts.dir, cursor.pcf and emptycursor.pcf Is this default, or are fonts missing? Fumbling a bit with sylpheed, it misses "libsasl2.so.2". I found some in online-Repos, but Sylpheed moans, that they're too short... Like my wife...

read that again - more details added.
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...0&postcount=20 cat /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/fonts.dir Quote:
cat some other font dir [root@kindle 100dpi]# cat /usr/java/lib/fonts/fonts.dir ??? or the ones I sent... use the font name calls as described by me above... and the correct font path for the reference... -fn "-misc-code2000-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1" from -fp /usr/java/lib/fonts for example...

Why are you so surprised? There is exactly ONE directory in the whole PW that has fonts. And even though the Kindle supports both .otf and .ttf fonts, only .ttf fonts are present on a stock PW. The one directory that has fonts in it is /usr/java/lib/fonts/. Did you expect to have man pages, fonts for X and everything? So if you want fonts, either use the standard fonts that are already there, or install your own (e.g. use the ones from twobob).

To me, it sounded like, th "fixed" font is one of the standard ones... so, it wasn't. But with that info about the font-path you provided, I can get further. Thanks. Sorry, that I'm not as skilled, as most people in here seem to be, but I'm honestly trying and grateful for any help. Oliver |
