The NCDware System Administrator's Guide for Unix Systems describes using the pref-font-path parameter in a remote configuration file or the Console (Setup -> Change User Preferences -> Fonts -> Current Font Path) to set the current font path. This section describes two additional methods.

Changing the Current Font Path-Using TELNET

You can modify the current font path through TELNET terminal emulation or using TELNET from a host. You can modify the font path of the terminal you are using or a remote terminal.

This method requires the User Preferences daemon read/write password or the Configuration daemon read/write password.

Complete the following steps to modify the current font path using TELNET:

1. Start a TELNET session using one of the following methods:
   

   • Start the NCD Terminal Emulator (Terminals -> New Telnet).

     In the Host field of the Terminal Emulator window, type the name (or IP address) of the terminal to be configured and the port (5997 is the User Preferences daemon port number and 5999 is the Configuration daemon port number):

     
     ncdu10 5997 
     ncdu10 5999
     

     Click on OK.

   • On a host computer, type a TELNET command similar to the following (5997 is the User Preferences daemon port number, and 5999 is the Configuration daemon port number):

     
     % telnet ncdu10 5997
     % telnet ncdu10 5999
     

2. After the Password: prompt, enter the read/write password for the relevant daemon.
   

3. After the TELNET prompt (>), enter the command to modify the pref-font-path parameter shown in Table 7-4 (not saved in NVRAM). For example:
   

   
   > pref-font-path = {
     { built-ins }
     { tcp/mohawk:7000 }}
   

4. Enter the apply command to put the new current font path into effect:
   

   
   > apply
   

5. Enter a quit command to exit from the Terminal Emulator or the TELNET application:
   

   
   > quit

To modify the current font path using the xset client, enter one of the following commands:
