IRIX and Software

For some reason, I am no longer able to view the japanese characters listed next to the links on the Nekochan front page. I can't rember what I did to get them working in the first place, but I'm guessing I downloaded a language pack of some type: is this correct?

That's correct, use something like:

http://freeware.sgi.com/Dist/fw_intlfonts-1.2.tardist

... and make certain to tell your X server about them afterward as described here:

http://freeware.sgi.com/Installable/intlfonts-1.2.html

Enjoy! :cat:

It all comes back to me now... Thx Nekonoko!

How do you set this to be permanent (ideally system wide) ?
The instructions are a bit vague as are the man pages.
I've tried .xsession file - this stops me loging-on to the account I set it for...
I've tried adding it the the config file of the font server (/var/X11/xfs/config) - no effect.
The man page for Xserver implies that using fp option within the Xservers file sets the font path. I just want to apend to it and not replace it (or am I not understanding this correctly?).

So far, the only method that works for me has been to do it on the command-line but this is a pain...

That's a good question. The only way I've worked around manual entry is to add the required lines to the mozilla and firebird startup scripts ...

I put xset +fp /usr/freeware/share/emacs/fonts in .sgisession.

Aha! I'll try this thanks! The only file I didn't put this into...
