SYNOPSIS

/usr/openwin/demo/fpls [ −e dir ]

/usr/openwin/demo/fprm [ −e dir ] font_path_element

DESCRIPTION

A running Solaris desktop has an associated font path which is simply a list of directories which are searched sequentially for fonts (much as the shell uses the PATH environment variable to find commands).  These commands are to be used to view the current font path and to modify the font path which will be used on future invocations of the desktop. 

These commands are available with and affect the OpenWindows environment. 

fpadd

Adds the specified element to the font path.  This command is available only to the superuser.  The specified element is added to the font path of the copy of OpenWindows installed in /usr/openwin by default. The values for position are "first", "last" or a positive integer, indicating into which position in the font path the new element should be inserted. 

fpls

Lists elements in a font path.  Each element is separated by the comma character.  If the user is the superuser, the font path of the OpenWindows installation in /usr/openwin is listed by default. 

fprm

Removes an element from the font path.  This command is available only to the superuser.  The specified element is removed from the font path of the OpenWindows installed in /usr/openwin by default. 

OPTIONS

−e dir
Meaningful only if the user is the superuser.  The font path of the OpenWindows installation in directory dir is listed or modified depending on the command.
