Re: font path ignorance
Hello Ed, I'm using Files section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Files" FontPath "/path/to/fonts1" FontPath "/path/to/fonts2" ... EndSection but xset +fp suggested by previous posters would work the same.

I think there used to be a document at openbsd.org/faq/truetype.html but I could't find it anymore, however here's a copy: http://ftp.tuwien.ac.at/.vhost/www.openbsd.org/www/faq/truetype.html hope it helps
font path ignorance
Built a new system, and it didn't have all the fonts that were on the old one. I looked for msttcorefonts as a package, and didn't find it. So I went through ports and found it, and some other font sets that I remembered from before, make, make build, make install. At the end of each make install I was advised to add the new fonts to my fontpath, but I don't know where that is lives, and apropos returns only XSetFontPath, XFreeFontPath, XGetFontPath(3), seemingly indicating that this is done programmatically. There are new directories in /usr/local/share/fonts. The new fonts do not show up in LibreOffice. I do, however, have many noto fonts for languages that I don't need to work with very often. So to speak. What have I missed? -- Edward Ahlsen-Girard Ft Walton Beach, FL
