With a little poking around, I discovered that the fontmap2 file is
created by the gnome-print RPM on a stock Red Hat 7.2 system, using
the %post script fragment:
gnome-font-install \
--assignment=ghostscript,/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 \
--afm-path=/usr/share/fonts/afms \
--fontmap-path=/usr/share/gnome-print/fonts/ \
--target=/etc/gnome/fonts/fontmap2
Unfortunately, there appear to have been some changes in hwo
gnome-print works between 0.29 (the version in Red Hat 7.2) and 0.35
(the version in Athena), such that I'm not quite sure what we should
be doing. From looking at gnome-print's own spec file (which we don't
use), it looks like things might start working if you run the
following as root on your Linux machine:
attach -n source
cp /mit/source/third/gnome-print/fonts/*.font /usr/athena/share/fonts/
perl /mit/source/third/gnome-print/run-gnome-font-install /usr/athena/share/fonts
On a Sun, you of course won't be able to write to
/usr/athena/share/fonts, so this won't work. But if it works on
Linux, we can probably arrange to have it happen for the release.
