Font Management

Xmanager provides fonts necessary in most systems and applications. However, users may need to directly add new fonts.
To Download and Install Additional Fonts Pack:

1. Go to the Xmanager download page: https://www.netsarang.com/en/font-download/
2. Download additional font packs to install.
3. Run the font packs in the user's system.
4. Install fonts pack according to the instructions provided by the install wizard.

• Note
  When additional font packs are installed, a fonts folder is automatically added to all server profiles, so a new fonts folder does not need to be registered separately in each server profile when using Xconfig.

   • Note
     The missing font message is used to find a font when the font used by a remote X application is not available in Xmanager. The missing font information is always recorded in the Xmanager log. Even if a font is unavailable in Xmanager, the missing font message may not be displayed by some X applications. In this case, find the necessary fonts by referring to the log or error messages of the concerned X application.
