Re: [CentOS] Font related problems with recent FF 60.1

2018-07-16 Thread James Pearson
10.  This is probably because Firefox 60.x uses its own build of gtk3 on el6 - and I guess there is an incompatibility between gtk3 fontconfig and the native el6 fontconfig ? Try editing /usr/bin/firefox and adding the line: export FONTCONFIG_FILE="$MOZ_LIB_DIR/firefox/bundled/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" just before the 'exec' line at the end of the script James Pearson ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
