The conversion happens in a sequence of steps and is inherently server dependent. If you are not familiar with Unix and/or X-Windows, ask your system administrator for some support.  1. Convert Oberon fonts into the target independent bitmap distribution format (bdf) by executing the Oberon command FontToBDF.Convert {path} ~ This command accepts an arbitrary number of path names separated by blanks or and terminated by "~". The converted files are stored with prefix "Oberon." and extension ".bdf" in the current directory. Use System.Directory to generate a list of font path names, e.g. System.Directory /usr/local/Oberon/*.Scn.Fnt The next steps are to be executed within a Unix shell. 2. Copy the produced *bdf files into a temporary directory on the machine that runs the X server process. Of course, this and step 3 are only necessary, if server and client are runing on different machines. If the server is a dedicated X-Terminal, ask your system administrator how to install additional fonts or refer to the X-Terminal specific documentation. 3. Login on the server machine. 4. Convert the *.bdf files into the native X server format.  4.1 There are two widely used formats on X servers (pcf, snf). Use a font converter (e.g. bdftopcf, bdftosnf, dxfc ...) to convert the *bdf files into the target format. Then create a file that contains the font directory (e.g. mkfontdir, dxmkfontdir, ...) % foreach f (Oberon*bdf) % bdftopcf $f > myfontdir/"`basename $f bdf`pcf" % end % cd myfontdir % mkfontdir Note that the commands bdftopcf and mkfontdir are server dependent. Each X server, however, is expected to provide equivalent commands. 4.2 If using xnews (e.g. for Sun's OpenWindows) % convertfont -d myfontdir -f 20 Oberon*.bdf % bldfamily -d myfontdir -f 20 Note that myfontdir must be an absolute path name.  5. Extend the X fontpath by the new directory. % xset +fp myfontdir This command can also be entered in the .login file of Oberon users: % xset -fp myfontdir % xset +fp myfontdir The first line avoids a repetition of the fontpath, if already present. Note that myfontdir must be an absolute path name. On some machines it must also be terminated by "/". 6. Remove the *bdf files 7. Restart oberon.
