LOADFONT(1G) — Silicon Graphics

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.
