The described problem is more a wrong X configuration, which GNUstep cannot help in
any way. The suggested fix that GNUstep should be using xft2 patches is also rather
obsolete as we already support these since backend release 0.8.6. As far as I remember
this was even before fontconfig was officially available.
=================== BUG #4691: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT ===================
Submitted by: prahal Project: GNUstep
Submitted on: Sat 08/09/2003 at 18:45
Category: Backend Severity: 5 - Major
Bug Group: Bug Resolution: None
Assigned to: FredKiefer Status: Declined
Summary: with X 4.3 xlib backend is dead (except on bload distros))
Original Submission: this was at first a new :
font_cacher , no error ... all my apps shows no fonts !
and all the color/etc answer not working ending in use backart.
By luck i removed obsolete /etc/X11/XftConfig from one of my distro (even debian
sometimes leaves dead files :(
and font_cacher and font_disappeared , rebuild this file + font_caher , fonts back ....
Could you either remove xlib backend or insert xft2 pathces .
No X server will build, install this file anymore, and XFT1 is dead , god bless it .
Some distributors (as debian) think xlib is ok and provide only this one !
I ask the debian maintenair to move to nfont+backart
nfont is really good but without a compatibility or transitional period it s a real
pain for maintenairs
