[snip] What you're essentially trying to do is extremely difficult to do, if not downright impossible. First, misc-fixed is a "classic", bitmap font; gnome-terminal and what-not won't let you use it. Second, fonts.conf is part of the fontconfig system -- which, AFACT, only Xft (FreeType) uses to choose alternative fonts etc. xlsfonts(1x) lists *all* fonts, both those rendered by Xft and the "classic" bitmap fonts such as misc-fixed. Might as well just use XTerm if you *really* want to use it. :/ -- JM Ibanez Senior Software Engineer Orange & Bronze Software Labs, Ltd. Co.
