SoftBench 6.X supports version 5.1.3.0 of Exceed. Other versions have not been tested.

Exceed can retrieve its fonts from a font server or from locally-installed font files. Exceed cannot use standard Unix-format X fonts, so you cannot access fonts on a remote file system.

See the Exceed documentation for details on accessing a font server or for changing the X font path.

Installing Exceed Fonts Locally

To use locally-installed fonts, copy the file:

/opt/softbench/fonts/pcfonts/exceed.zip

to your PC. Unpack it in your Exceed directory, which is usually found under "C:\Program Files".

After unpacking the zip file, use the XConfig utility to add the following fonts to your font path. (This is called the "Font Database" in Exceed.) The first column is the "font database" name, and the second is the directory location.

	hp_roman8  C:\Program Files\Exceed.nt\font\hp_roman8\
x11-iso C:\Program Files\Exceed.nt\font\x11-iso\
misc C:\Program Files\Exceed.nt\font\misc\

(This assumes Exceed is installed under
"C:\Program Files\Exceed.nt".)

Note that the trailing "\" is required! Verify that the three font directories are activated. The Status field for these fonts should be
"L P" or "K P". If it is not, select the font and select Change... to modify it.

When you are through, restart Exceed to activate the new fonts.
