I checked /etc/X11/XftConfig and it looks fine. I also ran the ttmkfdir on the font dirs with truetype fonts. One new thing I noticed is that root can run gnome-terminal with GDK_USE_XFT=1, but there are still error messages: [root@triumph ttf]# gnome-terminal (gnome-terminal:4222): ZVT-WARNING **: Cannot get required fonts from "Courier New 12" (gnome-terminal:4222): ZVT-WARNING **: Use "-*-*-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" XLFD fontname - some characters may not appear correctly These are similar to the ones I get when GDK_USE_XFT=0 for my non root account. Thanks, Victor
