I looked into the themes that seem to have trouble with respect to font size.
I noticed that they use lucida. However, lucida does not show up when I look
at xfontsel (under fmly). xfontsel seems to go into some funny loop
saying "Processing fonts". What's up with this? Would it be freetype or
Xorg related?
Ok, I *think* if you build fluxbox with USE=truetype, it will use the
freetype library to lookup and render fonts. This would be the good
thing.
Without this flag, it probably uses the FontPath from the X server to
locate and render them. So make sure you have truetype in USE for
fluxbox.
In both cases, for lucida fonts you probably need
"media-fonts/lfpfonts-fix" installed.
Donnie is the X-pert (:-)) on this...hoping he'll chime-in here.
