Hi friends,
Thanks a lot for your replies.
I issued 'truss fc-cache -fv .' on /home/guest/.fonts directory. I have
saved the output of this command in a file and I am attaching the same here.
After running through the file, I observed two things, which I feel are of
concern:
a) Line 146: Here it says that /home/guest/.fonts.conf file is not present.
Is it an issue? If yes, what should be the contents of this file?
b) Line 295: Here it says that the dir /var/cache/fontconfig does not have
enough permission to be opened. I dont think this is of any concern,
because this had failed even when I had run it as superuser. Am I wrong in
this interpretation.
I request you to kindly view the file and see if anything else is of
major concern. [Just a note, I had corefonts directory under .fonts
directory and I had placed my files there also, in order to increase the
chances of successful caching].
Also, I tried to surf the web to get a luximr.ttf for Solaris 10, but
could not find any location to download it. May I request you to give me the
URL where I can download the same?
With best regards,
Sreeram
