/usr/share/fonts/X11 is a location known to Fontconfig. The book has written > 23.

Installing non-TTF fonts in a location known to Fontconfig gave me sub-optimal font rendering in some parts of some programs. In particular, I noticed that some pages in forefox were not anti-aliases and some form boxes in firefox were not anti-aliased. Specific pages affected were the (b)lfs books. I noticed this because the default --with-fontrootdir=DIR in font-util does not match the default --with-fontdir=FONTDIR in xorg-server, and they are different than before. fc-list can reveal unexpected fonts. Setup this way worked best for me: m...@lfs:/usr/share/fonts$ ls -l X11-TTF lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Mar 15 12:20 X11-TTF -> /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
