xset fp= ...
where ... depended on where I was on the network at the time:
1) xset fp= tcp/192.168.96.2:7100
xset fp= tcp/hostname.xxx.xxx:7100
2) xset fp= tcp/localhost:7100
xset fp= tcp/127.0.0.1:7100
xset fp= tcp/:7100
3) same as 2)
I've also tried various forms of xset +fp, xset fp+. I'm not
a complete novice with font servers, in fact I run a font server at
work (on FreeBSD) which everyone on our network uses. That is not to
say I mightn't be doing something stupid!
I have successfully pointed my cygwin X desktop at a remote
font server using the above strategies, but here is the output from the
two xterms when I tried to start xfs locally just a second ago:
=============================================================
$ xfs
xfs notice: listening on port 7100
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
==============================================================
jodie@TV ~
$ netstat -an | grep 7100
TCP 0.0.0.0:7100 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
jodie@TV ~
$ xset fp= tcp/:7100
X Error of failed request: 86
Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath)
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 9
==============================================================
I type xfs in one window and it gives the listening message.
I can check it is running and listening in another window with
netstat. Then I give the xset command and I get the seg fault
back in the original window.
Cheers,
Greg
