Description
Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the system and select them according to requirements specified by applications.
The library is available as 32-bit and 64-bit:
- If you are compiling a 32-bit program, no special compiler options are needed.
- If you are compiling a 64-bit program, you have to compile and link your application with "cc_r -q64" or "gcc -maix64".
Homepage: http://www.fontconfig.org/
Current version: 2.12.6-2
Please note:
- If your fontconfig-based applications show the character IDs instead of the actual characters then you need to adjust your X11 fonts setup, please scroll further down for details.
- The reason for this is that fontconfig can not find any proper fonts.
- In order to make it work with the default configuration of fontconfig you need to at least install the fileset
X11.fnt.iso_T1.
- Alternatively, you can also add a local
/opt/freeware/etc/fonts/local.conf file and list the directories containing fonts. An example for that is listed below.
- Recommended would be to install
urw-fonts and add /opt/freeware/share/fonts/default/Type1 to the list of fonts above.
- If you have
ghostscript-fonts installed you could also add /opt/freeware/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/fonts to the list of fonts above.
Before (fileset X11.fnt.iso_T1 not installed), not working:
root@aix51:/opt/freeware/etc/fonts> lslpp -l | grep X11.fnt
X11.fnt.coreX 5.1.0.0 COMMITTED AIXwindows X Consortium Fonts
X11.fnt.defaultFonts 5.1.0.0 COMMITTED AIXwindows Default Fonts
X11.fnt.iso1 5.1.0.25 COMMITTED AIXwindows Latin 1 Fonts
|
Afterwards (fileset X11.fnt.iso_T1 installed), working:
root@aix51:/opt/freeware/etc/fonts> lslpp -l | grep X11.fnt
X11.fnt.coreX 5.1.0.0 COMMITTED AIXwindows X Consortium Fonts
X11.fnt.defaultFonts 5.1.0.0 COMMITTED AIXwindows Default Fonts
X11.fnt.iso1 5.1.0.25 COMMITTED AIXwindows Latin 1 Fonts
X11.fnt.iso_T1 5.1.0.0 COMMITTED AIXwindows Latin Type1 Fonts

This is my /opt/freeware/etc/fonts/local.conf file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /opt/freeware/etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->
<fontconfig>
<!-- Font directory list -->
<dir>/opt/freeware/share/fonts/default/Type1</dir>
<dir>/opt/freeware/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
