Specifically, -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-130-75-75-C-70-ISO8859-1, is loaded from that file. Here's what lead me to ask...
- I installed xfreecell on a fresh system - I couldn't get it to start, it complained about not being able to open a font, but didn't specify which one (thanks !NOT) - I did some spelunking in the xfreecell tarball in distfiles. Right near the top of the README file is a statement that says... "Make sure there is a font named 7x14." - "xlsfonts | grep 7x14" didn't find anything - in Google, I found other occurences of the same error message as I got and then asking how to get the "7x14" font - there were several people reporting that font-misc-misc did the trick for them. But it didn't work for me. - file /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias showed that "7x14" was an alias for -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-130-75-75-C-70-ISO8859-1 - The font-misc-misc ebuild appears to install 7x14.pcf.gz, which contains Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-130-75-75-C-70-ISO10646-1, a unicode font - Out of sheer desperation, I dug through *.pcf.gz files on another machine, and copied over 7x14-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz, which finally got xfreecell working. I'd still like to know which ebuild I should've used, rather than copying over a binary file. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
