SUN: Adding Zapf Dingbats font to GO-Global UX configuration 5 Years, 2 Months ago Karma: 1  
The Sun Java packages for Solaris assume the availablility of a Zapf Dingbats font that is only available when running the Solaris Console X server. To make the same font available within a GO-Global UX session, perform the following steps:

Code:

$ su root # cd /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fnts/F3 # /usr/openwin/bin/makebdf -v -M -x -4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,16,18,20,22 ZapfDingbats.f3b # mydir ~username/.zapf # mv ./*.bdf ~myusername/.zapf # exit $ cd ~myusername/.zapf $ mkfontdir
Finally, edit the icon you wish to add this to and add the path to the <tt>.zapf</tt> directory to the Prepended Font Path or the Appended Font Path options for that icon. Technically, this renders the F3 scalable font (which the GO-Global UX server cannot render) into several point-sized BDF fonts (which the GO-Global UX server can render) and then makes those fonts available.
