A short while ago, I installed the infinality bundle and fonts as an
experiment. Hit problems with some applications, so I'd like to revert
to the standard font handing. But I'm having all sorts of problems doing
so. My first attempt was this:
fang@altair ~]$ sudo pacman -S --asdeps freetype2 cairo fontconfig
lib32-fontconfig lib32-cairo ttf-ubuntu-font-family ttf-droid
ttf-liberation ttf-dejavu

I asked around, and had a suggestion that I should remove
ibfonts-meta-base ibfonts-meta-extended-lt and
lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate first. Tried that, and got this result:
|fang@altair ~]$ sudo pacman -R ibfonts-meta-base
ibfonts-meta-extended-lt lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate checking
dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy
dependencies) :: ibfonts-meta-extended: removing

'lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate' :: lib32-harfbuzz: removing
lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate breaks dependency 'lib32-freetype2'
So I'm stuck. I really need to get back to the standard font rendering,
but so far I've been unable to find a way of getting past the conflicts.
I really don't want to reinstall - this Arch install has been around for
several years, and I'd much rather find a way of fixing it. Can anyone
tell me how to get back to normal? Paul. |
