Installing TeemTalk On UNIX Based Products
2. The installation must be conducted under the window system
which TeemTalk is to be run in. Several environment variables
and file search paths are used and these are only set when the
window system is running. The installation also uses several X
Window utilities which will only work when the X Window
system is running.
There are several stages to the installation:
Copying The Executable
The TeemTalk executable is copied from the temporary directory to a well known bin
directory. The directory is one of the following:
Motif based systems:
OpenWindows based servers: $OPENWINHOME/bin/X11
Compiling The Fonts
All fonts files supplied with TeemTalk are in an architecture independent format called
BDF (Bit Distribution Format) and need converting from this independent format to a
compiled format suitable for the workstation on which TeemTalk is to be run. The font
conversion utility generally takes the hardware byte ordering, bit ordering and
padding into account when performing the conversion/compilation.
Motif Systems
For X servers prior to X11 R5 the conversion utility is called bdftosnf and on
X11 R5 servers the utility is called bdftopcf. Both take the .bdf font file and
produce an architecture dependent version of .snf or .pcf respectively.
If the installation script finds the bdftopcf it assumes that the font files should
be in pcf format, otherwise it does the conversion for snf.
Various parameters are supported by the conversion utilities in order to
specify the bit/byte ordering etc. Generally the workstation vendor has
ensured that the default parameters for the workstation have been built in so
that it is unnecessary to explicitly supply them. The installation script
assumes that this is the case.
OpenWindows
On OpenWindows servers the installation script uses the Sun convertfont
utility to perform the conversion to the native Sun .fb format.
