Looks like you have to run fc-cache to update the
database. Something like: sudo fc-cache -fsv
Julien and David,
I'll start by reiterating that my build now works fine, as
long as I do:
../configure --with-ncsb-dir=/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/
So, I have a successful workaround. And yes David, I
manually applied Julien's patch before he pushed it. Now
I'm simply curious to see how I can get fc-list to see the
fonts. Julien, I tried both of these:
sudo fc-cache -fsv
sudo fc-cache -fsv /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/
With both commands, I get output that contains this:
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts: caching, new cache
contents: 35 fonts, 0 dirs
/var/cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory
fc-cache: succeeded
And yet
fc-list | grep entury
returns nothing, even after rebooting.
I have the same problem (fc database not updating). I'm not sure how to
update this fc-list stuff, but it seemed to me that fc-cache is the
command we want to use for it, though, it doesn't seem to work here either.
Julien, I'd like to make a suggestion. In the error
message, I think it would be far more helpful if instead of
this
or use --with-ncsb-dir
it said something like this
or use `configure --with-ncsb-dir=PATH_TO_GSFONTS_DIR'
The point is that it is not at all intuitive to know that
gsfonts is the source of the New Century Schoolbook files.
Well, it's not clear that gsfonts is the correct directory for everyone.
Cheers,
Julien
