The first thing I am not certain of is my recompilation of Xorg using
the suggested USE flags. I put the new USE flags in /etc/make.conf and
then issued the command: "emerge -N xorg-x11". Will that work, or do I
have to do the emerge with "emerge --newuse --enable bitmap-fonts
truetype-fonts type1-fonts" explicitely? Perhaps my understanding of
USE flags is wrong for recompiling packages.
I wonder about this, because I enable the xtt module in my
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I get an error message that the xtt module
cannot be found. Using slocate I confirmed that xtt is nowhere to be found.
I would ask the same question for compiling freetype and the fonts
suggested.
In any case, Windowmaker runs as superuser, but fails as a simple user.
It claims it can't find any fonts.
I guess I haven't gotten to first base yet.
Thanks,
Rob.
