LOADFONT(1G) LOADFONT(1G)
NAME
loadfont - replace the system font
SYNOPSIS
loadfont fontfile
DESCRIPTION
When the iris is started, the default system font is used
for the characters displayed in text windows, and by
graphics programs that do not define their own fonts.
loadfont replaces the system font with a font from the
specified file. This file must contain a font in iris font
format. A collection of fonts is provided in the directory
/usr/lib/gl2/fonts. The source for the program that reads
and writes these fonts can be found in
/usr/people/gifts/mextools/portlib/fontlib.c. The system
font may not be changed while the window manager is running.
EXAMPLE
loadfont /usr/lib/gl2/fonts/small7.fnt
This will replace the system font with an itty bitty font
that is 7 pixels high.
