Did you have any luck solving this? I am having a very similar problem. Fonts that loaded at one time, no longer load. JC

Hi. Try one of this : 1) create link to font folder inside /etc/X11/fontpath.d , restart X 2) copy/link font folder to /usr/share/fonts , restart X 3) copy font folder to ~/.fonts then do fc-cache -rv and check output for line like '/home/n7dr/.fonts/n7dr: caching, new cache contents: 33

That's right... There's no xorg.conf in Ubuntu, either. But in arch, using X -configure to create the configuration file makes everything simpler? Of course this works fine in my laptop. On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 10:31 PM, D. R. Evans wrote: > Jianjun Mao said the following at 04/24/2012 04:03 AM
