Add/Modify Custom Font Settings (Directory) Dialog Box

To access

Use this dialog box to customize the font database in the Exceed Xconfig utility. When executing custom installations for Hummingbird Exceed, Sconfig lets you control the directories added to the font database file in Xconfig. The end result of the customization is that users can see a new customized font directory in their font database file in Xconfig.

Font Type—Specifies font type that can be added to the font database in Xconfig. Select Directory from the drop-down list box to display directory settings.

Font Directory—Specifies the name of your custom font directory. Type the name of the custom font directory (created in Xconfig) into the box.

File Name—Specifies the source path of the custom font database file (.fdb) created and generated by Xconfig. Specify the path by navigating to the custom font database file (.fdb) to add it to the installation database.

Status Area

Load—Select this option button when the Exceed X server starts or restarts, the font directory is automatically loaded (or when the default font path is manually reloaded or requested by a client) or a connection is automatically made to the font server.

Keep—Select this option button to keep the font directory or font server connection resident at all times. It remains resident even if a client forces a new path that does not include the Keep directory or server.

Inactive—Select this option button when the font directory is not automatically loaded or a connection with the font server is not re-established when the Exceed X server starts.

Physical Font Name Match Allowed—Select this option button when the font directory is not automatically loaded or a connection with the font server is not re-established when the Exceed X server starts. However, a client such as Xset may manually load an inactive font directory.
