the fonts installed by X and the TrueType fonts mixed in /usr/share/fonts, or Fontconfig is set up to use the X fonts. This is not good, and has been changed in the development book. Basically, the X fonts are ugly, and you don't want Fontconfig to even know about them. Have a look at this page, hopefully it will clear up a few
I would disagree with this statement. For text editors like gvim, where the font has to be in fixed width, fontconfig has to provide it (gvim compiled with GTK normally). And X fonts are the best for that. So far I couldn't find any TTF with fixed width that would compare to fonts provided with X. Well, fontconfig makes everything to make font selection very hard and inconvinient. In this situation of course it's better to keep things simple. But nevertheless, the fonts are needed and simply hiding them is not a solution. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
