That's right. Since fc-cache -f doesn't report any usable font in the ~/.fonts directory, I'd suspect the font file is corrupt. I tried this on Solaris 10 (10/08) x86 and I'm unable to reproduce it. Taking luxi*ttf from elsewhere and placing them to ~/.fonts, I'm getting the following: $ fc-cache -fv [..] /export/home/guest/.fonts: caching, new cache contents: 12 fonts, 0 dirs [..] $ LC_ALL=C ls -l ~/.fonts total 1776 -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 74076 Sep 1 03:50 luximb.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 69872 Sep 1 03:50 luximbi.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 71784 Sep 1 03:50 luximr.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 69496 Sep 1 03:50 luximri.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 87160 Sep 1 03:50 luxirb.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 85756 Sep 1 03:50 luxirbi.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 88732 Sep 1 03:50 luxirr.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 86396 Sep 1 03:50 luxirri.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 69972 Sep 1 03:50 luxisb.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 65568 Sep 1 03:50 luxisbi.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 67548 Sep 1 03:50 luxisr.ttf -r--r--r-- 1 guest other 66372 Sep 1 03:50 luxisri.ttf bash-3.00$ fc-match "LuxiMono" luximr.ttf: "Luxi Mono" "Regular" I'm also able to select Luxi in gedit. Please make sure that the font files are correct. Until fc-cache -fv will report some usable fonts in the ~/.fonts directory, further steps won't work. Check the file sizes above or try with some different font file. Regards, hnhn > What does the command 'file luximr.ttf' say?
