This file contains installation instructions for the `abez' package,
which contains a font for use with the X windowing system.

If you are using Debian, you should either find a .deb file for this 
package or build it yourself using the command

  $ make deb

Once you have the .deb file, install the package as usual:

  $ su
  # dpkg -i <package name>.deb
  # exit

This will put the fonts in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc.  All that's left to
do is to update your font path.  See below for instructions on how to do
that.

If you're not so lucky as to use Debian, the procedure is slightly
different.  Install the fonts using

  $ su
  # make install
  # exit

This should tell you to which font directory the font files were 
installed, usually /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc.

Alternatively, you can install the font files manually.  For instance,
if you keep your fonts in ~/fonts, simply do

  $ mkdir -p ~/fonts
  $ cp *.pcf.gz ~/fonts

If you installed the fonts using Debian's dpkg, you got a couple of font
aliases added for free.  To add these yourself, append the contents of
the file `abez.alias' to the file `fonts.alias' in your font directory
using the command

  $ cat abez.alias >> <font directory>/fonts.alias

substituting /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc, ~/fonts or whatever font
directory you used for <font-directory>.

To complete the installation, run

  $ mkfontdir <font directory>

Once the fonts are installed, you need to make sure your font path
contains the directory in which they were put.  You can use the command

  $ xset q | grep -A1 "Font Path"

to see your current font path.  If the output contains the directory you
are looking for, you need to tell your X server to look for new fonts
in its font path.  To do this, issue the command

  $ xset fp rehash

On the other hand, if your font path does _not_ already contain the
directory, you need to add it using the command

  $ xset +fp <font-directory>

You will need to do this each time you start X, so you might want to add
it your ~/.xinitrc.  Alternatively, if you are using Xorg, you can
add the line

  FontPath	"<font-directory>"

to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  It should go somewhere in the section
that looks like this:

  Section "Files"
    ...
  EndSection

At this point, you should be able to use the newly installed fonts.  To 
see if they were installed properly, you can use the `xfontsel' program:

  $ xfontsel 

Look for a font in the `abez' family.  If you can't find any,
something went wrong with the installation.  In this case, go through
the steps again slowly, looking for any error messages.

Happy reading!
