This is weird.
background;
So I've installed media-fonts/courier-prime:
Installing (1 of 1) media-libs/fontconfig-2.13.1-r2::gentoo
* Syncing fontconfig configuration to system ...
[ ok ]
* Cleaning broken symlinks in /etc/fonts/conf.d/
* abi_x86_32.x86: running multilib_pkg_postinst
* Creating global font cache for x86 ...
Fontconfig error: Cannot scan config file "infinality/conf.d"
[ ok ]
* abi_x86_64.amd64: running multilib_pkg_postinst
* Creating global font cache for amd64 ...
The dir '/etc/fonts/infinality' contains these files:
conf.src infinality.conf styles.conf.avail
so I ran 'eselect fontconfig enable 28'
to enable the '52-infinality.conf *'
But I still get:
can't load font *-courier-medium-r-*-18-*
When I try to run 'vi testtest' as user or root
I get this error:
can't load font *-courier-medium-r-*-18-*
'vim testtest' works fine.
'eselect fontconfig list' shows:
a list of 60, including
[28] 52-infinality.conf
but it is not 'enabled'
(perhaps a command I missing or tool option
just to merely enable (52-infinality.conf) ?
"but nothing related to courier-prime
So how do I get the courier fonts 'to be included'?
Then what are the steps to have it available. I've probably missed a
simple gentoo manual/wiki page describing what is usually a very easy
graphics tool ?
