Hello, I am having issues installing and getting fonts to work in X. I have consulted the handbook page ( https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-fonts.html) and have installed a few fonts. The fonts I have installed are on my system here; /usr/local/share/fonts I have used xset to try and set fonts for example roboto-fonts-ttf; xset fp+ /usr/local/share/fonts/roboto-fonts-ttf xset fp rehash I have done so with a few of the fonts. Here is a list of fonts installed on my system; total 216 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 69120 Nov 26 17:19 100dpi drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 79360 Nov 26 17:18 75dpi drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 1024 Nov 26 17:17 OTF drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 1024 Nov 26 17:17 TTF drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Nov 28 19:37 TrueType drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 1536 Nov 26 17:17 Type1 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Nov 27 05:56 cantarell drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 3072 Nov 26 17:18 cyrillic drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 1536 Nov 26 17:18 dejavu drwxrwxrwx 3 root wheel 2048 Nov 26 17:17 encodings drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 4608 Nov 28 19:10 freefonts drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 15360 Nov 26 17:18 misc drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 1024 Nov 29 17:14 roboto-fonts-ttf drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 4096 Nov 28 19:09 urwfonts drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 1024 Nov 26 17:17 util Is the ownership of the directories or files a problem? I changed all of the directories to 777 but that doesn't seem to do anything. I have run xset on every directory, but in my dekstop applications such as firefox, the text is still hard to read. Below is info regarding my system. Any help would be appreciated.
