I created a directory in /usr/local/share/fonts called proggy, did a mkfontdir and issued fc-cache -fv as root, so the font will be systemwide. It spat out alot of output including: fc-cache: "/usr/local/share/fonts": caching, 0 fonts, 1 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/local/share/fonts/proggy": caching, 2 fonts, 0 dirs So it appears it added the fonts? But xlsfonts still wont find them, I even added: FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/proggy" to my xorg.conf but to no avail. > I did this a while back so don't recall what other stuff I needed to > do.
