Linux

Linux users, please follow these steps to setup Java with the Bitstream Cyberbit TTF font. Note the jre is the directory where your Java Runtime Environment is installed (if you have the full SDK, this will be in the jre directory in that).

  1. Copy Cyberbit.ttf into your /jre/lib/fonts/ directory.

  2. In that directory, edit the file fonts.dir.

  3. Increment the number at the very top of the file (eg. change ``72'' to ``73'')

  4. At the bottom, add a new line:
    Cyberbit.ttf -b&h-cyberbit-bold-i-normal-sans-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-9

  5. Edit the file /jre/lib/font.properties.

  6. To the ``serif'' group, add a new line such as this:
    serif.2=-b&h-cyberbit-bold-i-normal-sans-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-9 Where the 2, is the next available number.

  7. Repeat the above step for at least each major group (i.e. monospaced, dialog, dialoginput, etc). Copernicus mainly uses ``dialog'' so don't miss out that one!

  8. close all running Java programs

  9. load the Java programs and they should have unicode font support
