That XftConfig looks like mine. Like I said, it is my "belief" that you have to get the fonts working in plain X FIRST, and then do a bit more in XftConfig. #ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/ Vera.ttf VeraIt.ttf VeraMoIt.ttf VeraSeBd.ttf fonts.dir VeraBI.ttf VeraMoBI.ttf VeraMono.ttf fonts.alias fonts.scale VeraBd.ttf VeraMoBd.ttf VeraSe.ttf fonts.cache-1 --> To get this, cd to ttf-bitstream-vera and run: #ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale #cp fonts.scale fonts.dir #python mkfontalias.py -->Make sure you have a fontpath to ttf-bitstream-vera in XF86Config-4 -->Use xfontsel to make sure you see the Vera fonts OK. -->Your XftConfig looks okay to me. Hope I didn't forget anything. -->I use gtk-theme-switch to get GTK1 apps to use Vera-8 for everything Good luck! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
