You're probably right about that being a bug. I'd like to here Alexander's take on this since I think he understands the font issues pretty well. Have you tried using the DejaVu fonts? The thing about putting all the fonts in /usr/share/fonts is that it's bad to have some bitmap fonts there. Like firefox using the adobe bitmapped fonts when a page calls for Helvetica (I think that's from Alexander). Here's one RedHat developer's take on why Fontconfig shouldn't find all the bitmapped fonts: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-November/msg00166.html -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
