[Xquartz-dev] The 2.1.0 package and Apple System Fonts

[Merle Reinhart]

Not a problem.  All is back and right with the world.

However, I didn't quite let go it it.  Fink with Tiger made copies of  
the Apple System Fonts to use with X11.  So, since they already  
existed and had mkfontscale and mkfontdir already run (today in fact),  
I added that directory via xset.

The Fink package is applesystemfonts and it adds them in /sw/lib/X11/ 
fonts/applettf which is the directory it tried adding via xset:

Font Path:
   /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/,/usr/X11/ 
lib/X11/fonts/OTF,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/ 
100dpi/,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/sw/lib/X11/fonts/applettf/


Well, I no longer get a hung system, however, I do wind up crashing  
Xquartz (I'm only including the thread that crashed):

So, things still look a bit iffy adding fonts (in general, I don't  
need to do this, but I find the Monaco font handy at times).
