No. Fontconfig searches /usr/share/fonts. We'd be installing in /usr/share/X11/fonts. <snip> > Why bother installing symlinks? If you've installed the fonts in > /usr/share, Fontconfig will find them. Same as above. The default fontconfig path is: 1. /usr/share/fonts (if configure finds them and you haven't specified --without-add-fonts or --with-add-fonts=/something/else) 2. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 3. /usr/X11/lib/X11 4. /usr/lib/X11 (if you supplied any real directories to --with-add-fonts 2. /dir1 3. /dir2 4. /dir3 ... 5. ~/.fonts -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
