LFCS Question #239: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which of the following lines from /etc/X11/xorg.conf indicates that fonts can be found on a font server?

Options

• AFontPath= server
• BFonts "unix/:7100"
• CFontPath "unix/:7100"
• DFonts= server
• EFontserver = "servername"

Explanation

The xorg.conf file uses the FontPath option to specify locations where the X server can find fonts, including local directories and font servers.

Common mistakes.

• A. FontPath= server is not a valid syntax for specifying a font server in xorg.conf.
• B. While Fonts relates to font configuration, FontPath is the correct directive for specifying font server locations, and '"unix/:7100"' must follow FontPath.
• D. Fonts= server is not a valid syntax for specifying a font server in xorg.conf.
• E. Fontserver is not the correct directive; FontPath is used for specifying font server locations.
