### 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_":
### CORE FONTS
There are two ways of adding fonts, with __Fontconfig__ or with __X__ 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.
__STEP 1__: Create a font directory with font files and index files.
* If there are scalable fonts you might first need to correctly name them index first:
`mkfontscale ~/.fonts`
* To properly create a font index file:
`mkfontdir ~/.fonts`
Some files are creat with this
* The _fonts.dir_ lists the available fonts in this directory.
* The _fonts.alias_ provides aliases.
__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"_
```

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.
__TEMPORARY CHANGES (OPTIONAL)__
To add fonts for a one time you can follow either of these steps.
* Temporarily add fonts first on the list:
`xset +fp /path/to/fonts`
* Temporarily add fonts last on the list:
`xset fp+ /path/to/fonts`
## THEME
To tweak the theme of your terminal emulator you need to tweak the _".Xresources"_ file.
