Does Xephyr honor scaled / unscaled or priority parameter through symbolic link to fonts?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Additional font related parameters like scaled / unscaled or priority can be passed by link in /etc/X11/fontpath.d/ directory to actual fonts as below
ll /etc/X11/fontpath.d/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 36 mei 31 09:49 default-ghostscript -> /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 30 mei 31 09:49 fonts-default -> /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1

  • This does work well with Xorg
  • Does window based X servers shipped with RHEL support this?
