### FONTS (WITH CORE FONTS)
There are two ways of adding fonts, with __Fontconfig__ or with __X__ core fonts. The next deals with core fonts.
## FONTS
There are two ways of adding fonts, with __Fontconfig__ or with __X__ core fonts. Make sure the fonts and the directory (and all of its parents) are world-readable:
* The directory needs appropriate permissions.
`chmod 755 /path/to/fonts/`
* The fonts need appropriate permissions.
`chmod 644 /path/to/fonts/*`
* If the fonts are global they need to be owned by root.
`chown root:root /path/to/fonts/*`
### CORE FONTS
The next deals with core fonts.
* Fonts can be added to the database on _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf"_ or in the separate file _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/fonts.conf_".
* Supported font formats are _BDF_, binary _PCF_, and _SNF_.
* Scalable fonts must appear in the font path before the bitmap fonts when possible.
* You can query the current _font paths_ (along with other information) by using __xset__:
`xset q`
* To see the list of installed fonts:
`xlsfonts`
* All this works for cursors too.
__STEP 1__: Create a font directory with font files and index files.
* First you might need to correctly name scalable fonts by creating a _fonts.scale_ file in the directory:
`mkfontscale ~/.fonts`
`mkfontscale /path/to/fonts/`
* Next create a proper font index file _fonts.dir_ to list available fonts in this directory:
`mkfontdir ~/.fonts`
`mkfontdir /path/to/fonts/`
* The _fonts.alias_ provides aliases you can use and is manually created.
* Make sure the files have the appropriate permissions:
`chown root.root *`
`chmod 644 *`
__STEP 2__: Inform __X__ where to look for font directories.
* Edit _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf"_ or in the separate file _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/fonts.conf"_
* Edit _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf"_ or in the separate file _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/fonts.conf"_:
```
Section "Files"
FontPath "/path/to/fonts/"
FontPath "/path/to/another/fonts/"
FontPath "/path/to/other/fonts/"
EndSection
```
Where _"/path/to/fonts/"_ can be the default _/usr/local/share/fonts/_, a directory under _/usr/local/share/fonts/_, or any directory of your choosing.
__STEP 3 (OPTIONAL)__: Re-scan the font directories to apply new fonts.
* Reload _xset_ to apply changes:
__STEP 3__: Re-scan the font directories to apply new fonts.
* Either restart __X__ or reload using _xset_ to apply changes:
`xset fp rehash`
__TEMPORARY CHANGES (OPTIONAL)__
To add fonts for a one time you can follow either of these steps.
You can add fonts temporarily.
* Temporarily add fonts first on the list:
`xset +fp /path/to/fonts`
* Temporarily add fonts last on the list:
`xset fp+ /path/to/fonts`
* To enable TrueType® fonts enable Freetype by adding the following line to _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf"_ or in the separate file _"/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/fonts.conf"_:
```
Section "Module"
Load "freetype"

```
## THEME
To tweak the theme of your terminal emulator you need to tweak the _".Xresources"_ file.
