I'm looking at the default XftConfig of Mandrake 8.1 and I see: # don't yet exist, but i hope to include some day a package for them (Pablo) dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/cyrillic" dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/viet" dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/ethiopic" dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/georgian" dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/arabic" dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/hebrew" dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/unicode" so if you have Mandrake and you add a seperate TTFs directory (not using FontDrake) then the name "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/hebrew" or "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/unicode" is recomended. Alternatively, make one of those a symlink to one of the places to which you installed the files. > > But this is not very easy since you need to disable some sizes from anti > aliasing (anything less then 8 point size letter anti aliased is unreadable > even on very high quality EIZO screens)...
