I did not pretend you wrote any code for no good reason. To be honnest, I did not really look at the code of xscreensaver, only used it. > Well, that set of fonts is, in fact, garbage, but I think it should > have fallen back to > -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1 I know close to nothing about how fonts are managed on my system, but I’m still curious why you consider “my” set of fonts garbage… On Sun, Aug 16, 2020 at 09:58:04AM -0700, Jamie Zawinski wrote: > > If you're feeling adventurous, rebuilding with DEBUG defined in > utils/font-retry.c and sending me the output of a run with that version might > be helpful.

But I guess you won’t be happy with the “<< stderr diagnostics have been truncated >>” part… :-/ Anyway, I still read the line going from xscreensaver: trying -*-bitstream vera sans-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1 to xscreensaver: trying -*-bitstream vera sans-bold-r-*-*-*-60-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1 I am somewhat surprised since I do have the ttf-bitstream-vera package installed on my system… Does it mean I’m missing something to make that font available to xscreensaver? Sorry if that question sounds stupid, but I wrote above that I know close to nothing about how fonts are managed… Regards, -- Nicolas Boullis
