With both X (7.5) and (some of) gnome in /usr. my ttfs are in directories under /usr/share/fonts/. ISTR they used to go into /usr/lib/X11/fonts, in fact my xorg.conf still has archaic references to non-existent directories for old-style fonts there, which means my X log reports that the FontPath ends up empty - doesn't matter for me, fontconfig handles it. Anything interesting in your X or daemon logs ? Are you saying that it worked once, then failed after you rebooted? If so, what was different about the first time ? ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
