Re: [Fonts]Fontconfig + patched qt-3.0.5 doesn't allow bitmap fixedfont

 Yesterday I installed the XFt-2 enabled QT. Now running konsole (the kde

 This is caused by the fact that the font selection mechanism refuses to match 
 the -misc-fixed-medium-r-* bitmapped font. I've tried out several 
 configurations but none helped (except aliassing to a monospaced font, not 
 arial).
 

I can't tell from the log whether you have made any bitmap fonts
available to fontconfig.  On my Red Hat 8 system, I have found that I
can use PCF fonts in konsole by putting un-gzipped copies of them in
/usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts (or presumably any other directory listed
in fonts.conf) and running fc-cache.

As an aside, this doesn't work for the Courier fonts that ship with
XFree86.  I suspect that this is because a couple of them don't have a
spacing value.

 How can I check this?
 

Here is my very first fontconfig program.  The usage is:

fcdump [-d] [pattern]

If '-d' is omitted, a single-line version of each pattern will be
printed (with FcNameUnparse); if '-d' is present, a multi-line version
will be printed (with FcPatternPrint).  If no pattern is supplied, all
fonts will be printed.
