Mint installation problem

[ic2000]

When using xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/bitmap on Linux Mint, it returned the following results:

ic2000@mint ~/bitmap-fonts $ xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/bitmap
xset:  bad font path element (#3), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

I solved this by running xset for every folder that contains a fonts.dir file.

find /usr/share/fonts/bitmap/ -name fonts.dir | xargs dirname | xargs -I {} xset fp+ {}

Seems to work if you run mkfontdir bitmap/ before copying to /usr/share/fonts. I'll add a fonts.dir to the bitmap directory in the next commit. Guilherme's solution should work as well.

I still can't use this font.

fc-cache -fv
...
/usr/share/fonts/misc/haxor: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/misc/tewi: caching, new cache contents: 2 fonts, 0 dirs
...

Manjaro
