For UMing, the problem is the conf files :-( I've now got it working properly (i.e. I can see that the four variants are not identical), by removing the shipped conf files and installing 90-ttf-arphic-uming-embolden.conf and cjkuni-uming-fonts-fontconfig.conf (no number in this one!) from fedora cgit master - http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/cjkuni-uming-fonts.git/ I suppose I now have a magic dragon, living by the sea ;-) Also we should probably mention that some fonts, such as this one, untar into the current directory. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
