Access to Galileo's Font Server
Some of the applications installed on Galileo require special fonts. Galileo can supply these fonts to remote hosts through a font server. Here are some instructions for using Galileo's font server.-
From HCL Exceed:
If you're using Exceed to communicate with Galileo, you'll need to make the following configuration changes to use Galileo's font server.- Start the "Xconfig" program, and select "Font"
- Click on "Font Database"
- Click "Add"
- In the box labeled "Font" at the right of the window, choose "Server"
- In the box labeled "Font Server", enter "Galileo.phys.virginia.edu" in the "Host Name" field
- In the "Port" field, enter "7100"
- Click "OK"
- Remove the check in the box labeled "Automatic Font Substitution" at the lower left
- Use the "Move Up" button, at the lower right, to move Galileo's font server to the top of the list
- You can now exit Xconfig

From a Unix host:
If you have a Linux, AIX, HP or other Unix-like workstation, there are a number of different ways to access Galileo's font server. Here are some of them, in no particular order.- Option 1: If you don't have root access to your computer, you can add
the following line to your .xsession or .xinitrc file:
xset fp+ tcp/galileo.phys.virginia.edu:7100
- Option 2: If you have root access, you may want to edit the system-wide .xsession or .xinitrc files and add the "xset" line given above, so that all users will have access to the font server without having to modify their own configuration files.
- Option 3: If you have root access, another way of giving all users access to Galileo's font server is by modifying your X server configuration. On Linux machines running XFree86, this can be done by adding an entry like "tcp/galileo.phys.virginia.edu:7100" to the font path specified in the XF86Config file. Most X servers also allow you to specify a font path on the command line.

the following line to your .xsession or .xinitrc file:
