  1. Emelfm has a built-in font browser that does a better job than xfontsel at choosing fonts, and displaying the exact font specification with all attributes.
  2.  
  3. Just go to Configuration, Inteface-Misc, Output Font (Or List Font), then go to the "Font Information" Tab to view "Actual Font Name" for chosen font.
  4. This can then be used to custom configure fonts in other applications.
  5.  
  6. NB) Emelfm cannot find fonts unless they have a fonts.dir in their font directory, and the font directory is in the font path
  7.  
  8. Use:
  9. # xset fp+ /path/to/font/directory/
  10.  
  11. to append font locations to font path, and make sure it is saved somewhere
  12.  
  13. Then
  14. # xset fp rehash to update
  15.  
  16. and # fc-cache to update font cache
  17.  
  18. Use
  19. # mkfontscale followed by
  20. # mkfontdir in the desired font directory to create fonts.dir if it does not already exist
