BUT it doesn't find the glyphs which are only in FreeFont. Fixing the configure is a different matter - adding LDFLAGS= or LIBS= produces the dreaded "C compiler cannot produce executables" - it can't find conftest.sh after creating it and adding '.' to the PATH. Xterm-289 still shows the failure to find a usable Xft/fontconfig, but it seems that fontconfig can be found with 289 if I use LIBS=. I haven't built it yet, and I'll come back to the configury of 279 later (the changelog for 289 looked irrelevant for my issues). If anyone has logs from configuring xterm-279 I would be interested in whether they see the failure to find a usable Xft/fontconfig. For my original "not everything renders" problem, I'm guessing that it has decided to use Bitstream Vera (which is installed at the moment so I can report on how little it covers - perhaps I should concentrate on that and then get rid of it again). 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
