To download the needed files using wget, use the following commands:
mkdir font &&
cd font &&
grep -v '^#' ../font-7.2.wget | wget -i- -c \
-B http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/font/ &&
md5sum -c ../font-7.2.md5
Run the following commands for each package:
./configure $XORG_CONFIG && make
These packages do not provide test suites.
Now as the root user:
make install
When all of the fonts have been installed, the system must be
configured so that Fontconfig can
find the TrueType fonts since they are outside of the default
search path of /usr/share/fonts. Make
symlinks to the Xorg TrueType font
directories by running the following commands as the root user:
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/fonts && ln -svn $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/fonts/OTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-OTF && ln -svn $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/fonts/TTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF
$XORG_PREFIX/fonts and
/usr/share/fonts/X11-{TTF,OTF}
