Hmm, this is what they list: ============================================ $ ls -la /usr/share/fonts/default total 20 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 208 Jun 26 13:31 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 568 Mar 13 2005 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3965 Jun 26 13:31 encodings.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23 Jun 26 13:31 fonts.cache-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 Jun 26 13:31 fonts.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 Jun 26 13:31 fonts.scale drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3128 Jun 26 13:31 ghostscript $ ls -la /usr/share/fonts/encodings total 146 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1416 Jul 8 22:41 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 568 Mar 13 2005 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3253 Jul 4 14:36 adobe-dingbats.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1655 Jul 4 14:36 adobe-standard.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3165 Jul 4 14:36 adobe-symbol.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 986 Jul 4 14:36 ansi-1251.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1026 Jul 4 14:36 armscii-8.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 435 Jul 4 14:36 ascii-0.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 582 Jul 4 14:36 dec-special.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 Jul 4 14:42 fonts.cache-1 -rw------- 1 root root 2 Jul 8 22:42 fonts.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1576 Jul 4 14:36 ibm-cp437.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1519 Jul 4 14:36 ibm-cp850.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1412 Jul 4 14:36 ibm-cp852.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1373 Jul 4 14:36 ibm-cp866.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1012 Jul 4 14:36 iso8859-11.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 639 Jul 4 14:36 iso8859-13.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 626 Jul 4 14:36 iso8859-16.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 996 Jul 4 14:36 iso8859-6.16.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 836 Jul 4 14:36 iso8859-6.8x.enc.gz drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 744 Jul 4 14:36 large -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 616 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-cp1250.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1181 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-cp1251.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 529 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-cp1252.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1219 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-cp1253.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 572 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-cp1254.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1004 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-cp1255.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1025 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-cp1256.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 883 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-cp1257.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 633 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-cp1258.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 435 Jul 4 14:36 microsoft-win3.1.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185 Jul 4 14:36 mulearabic-0.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 455 Jul 4 14:36 mulearabic-1.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 467 Jul 4 14:36 mulearabic-2.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 676 Jul 4 14:36 mulelao-1.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 811 Jul 4 14:36 suneu-greek.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 760 Jul 4 14:36 tcvn-0.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1152 Jul 4 14:36 tis620-2.enc.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1242 Jul 4 14:36 viscii1.1-1.enc.gz $ ls -la /usr/share/fonts/local total 9 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 144 Jun 26 13:31 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 568 Mar 13 2005 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3965 Jun 26 13:31 encodings.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 26 13:31 fonts.cache-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 Jun 26 13:31 fonts.dir ============================================ I noticed that the default directory has a ghostscript directory in it, which itself has loads of fonts - although //default on the other hand doesn't seem to contain any! The local directory is also empty. Finally, I noticed that the fonts.dir within //encodings has rw access rights only for root. What should the above look like on a 'normal' installation? (All I can think is that I must have messed up my fonts in the distant past, migrating from X86F to Xorg.) -- Regards, Mick
