The only issue I see here is that I don't know how X would handle this. I don't know when it uses Fontconfig, and when it doesn't, but X wouldn't know to look in /usr/share/fonts/TTF to find fonts.scale and fonts.dir. Only Fontconfig would. Instead, they could be symlinked: ln -svn ../bitmap-fonts/TTF /usr/share/fonts/TTF ln -svn ../bitmap-fonts/OTF /usr/share/fonts/OTF Maybe this is overkill. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
