Or request it everywhere.
Not a bad idea, Liam, I'll probably do that.

Thanks for all the followup, Liam & Michael!
By default I believe the mac changes antialiasing and hinting strategies
(is this 16pt or 16px?)
I'm using the simple Cairo text drawing functions here. Size is being set
as Cairo user space units, which should be just pixels as I'm using the

Hi all,
OK, I've made some progress based on everyone's suggestions, and focused
my questions a bit more, I think.
Copying the Deja*.ttf files into /opt/X11/share/fonts/TTF *did* make a
difference, and they are now seen by my apps, but this fact was
momentarily obscured by one of my remaini
How would I (re)configure freetype to recognize new .ttf files that I have
manually copied into /opt/X11/share/fonts?
Sorry, that should have been /opt/X11/share/fonts/TTF, where I stuck all
the DejaVu*.ttf files copied from my CentOS machine.
fc-list at least is able to find these now, bu
Thanks, Michael.
My MacOS GTK+3 install is using the X11 backend, or so I assume given that
when my apps appear they have a small X icon embedded into each window
titlebar. You said that in this case font usage is controlled by freetype.

DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
Aargh, I'm stupid, Liam! Somehow I managed to skip over the key piece of

% fc-match Sans
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"
Obviously this explains a lot

If you are using Gtk+3 with the native/quartz backend, then the fonts it
uses are coming from the native OS X font sys
Hi Liam,
Thanks for explaining the Sans alias. I was wondering about that, as
looking around on my CentOS 6 system I was able to find most of the Gnome
fonts in /usr/share/fonts (including the DejaVu fonts), but was not able
to find the Sans font anywhere. Playing around with the gnome-termina

On most linux systems this is actually an alias, not a font name.
Here, it's DejaVu Sans Book:
$ fc-match Sans
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
$
so, add DejaVuSans
