Install PCF font on Ubuntu

　　Copy the font files to a directory that is visible to the x-server's
　　Font Path.  You may check the font path of the running server by
　　typing the command:
　　
　　xset q
　　
　　On my FreeBSD machine I chose /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ to hold
　　these new fonts.  Next, you need to update the index file 'fonts.dir'
　　by running 'mkfontdir'. Here's the command I used for my path:
　　
　　mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
　　
　　If you don't want to restart your X server, you can update your
　　current X session using:
　　
　　xset fp rehash
　　
　　Otherwise restarting X will also load the new fonts.  That's it, you're done.
　　
　　=== Addendum ===
　　
　　At least for Ubuntu Linux you need an extra step.
　　You must also add the font path using "xset fp+".
　　Here's a shell script that does the job:
　　#!/bin/sh
　　# rebuild font.dir file
　　mkfontdir ~/.fonts
　　# add .fonts to font path
　　xset fp+ ~/.fonts
　　# tell X to reread fonts
　　xset fp rehash
　　
　　
　　sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf
