description:
If you run fc-cache in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts it will examine all subdirs and make a
cache.
And then if you run (say) gedit, you will see,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] fonts]# gedit
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org
To fix,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] fonts]# cd drakfont/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] drakfont]# fc-cache -v -f `pwd`
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont": caching, 348 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: succeeded
[EMAIL PROTECTED] drakfont]# gedit
[EMAIL PROTECTED] drakfont]#
also, mv drakfont ..; gedit, works sometimes.
The generated cache files are identical inside the drakfont directory.
It is not related to what fonts you have.
I think it is probably the timestamp on the font-cache file in the parent directory.
In the case that it fails, gedit takes a long time to start up (10 seconsd, say) and
there's lots of
disk access.
In the case it works, it is fast.
