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 ?
