Hello folks,

I have an in house Xapplication calling the following wildcard font:

"-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-p-*-hp-roman8"

loads:
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--13-90-100-100-p-71-hp-roman8"

How can I locate the font file being loaded as I would like to
transfer this file over to another Xserver.

Thank you,
Zeewin

The font directories served by the font server will be listed
in /etc/X11/fs/config. How you translate the actual font
to a specific font file, I'm not sure. What I would do is
identify a system on which all the fonts are working the way you
want them, then tar up the font directories and install them
on any other servers you want. You'll have to copy the
/etc/X11/fs/config file as well then "kill -USR1" the xfs
pid.

HTH;

Doug
