Hi to all,
I have an old X client that requests this font:
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*
( /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/helvB12.pcf.gz )
Unfortunately, iso10646 encoding causes this client to show only boxes.
I've found that I can fix it by manually editing /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.dir like so:
< helvB12.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso10646-1 --- > helvB12.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso8859-1
... changing the encoding to iso8859 for the font in question.
My problem is that 'update-fonts-dir' completely un-does my edit! There's probably a defoma tweak that I need to make, but I can't figure it out. Is there a global setting to always prefer iso8859 for all fonts when possible?
Any help is be greatly appreciated!
Change the name of the font in the font files. update-fonts-dir will regenerate fonts.dir from that info. man update-fonts-dir

The kernel has language settings you can select for things like 8859 etc.
