Fonts always confused me until I discovered what works for me. I use ttf-bitstream-vera fonts from: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10.tar.bz2 And copy them to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF As per the X Window System Components section, This link allows Fontconfig to use the TrueType fonts provided by X (which are scalable and of higher quality): ln -v -sn /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF And all the fonts look great to me without doing anything else. I don't understand why it is "X11-TTF", but it works for me. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
