Hello, I have a need for a very special font (which is used for the chars how they are teached to my son in school in first grade). I have found the TTF file and installed it as: $ file /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/DruckschriftBayern.ttf /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/DruckschriftBayern.ttf: TrueType font data and did the additional steps as described in the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-fonts.html The new font shows up fine in some KDE apps, in firefox etc.; as well I can see it with fc-list(1) as: $ fc-list | fgrep BY Druckschrift BY WOK:style=Medium but I can't use is, for example with xterm, it says: $ xterm -fn 'Druckschrift BY WOK' xterm: cannot load font Druckschrift BY WOK and even more magic: I can set it in 'kedit' via preferences, but when I launch it from cmd line it says: $ kedit --fn 'Druckschrift BY WOK' QFont::setRawName(): Invalid XLFD: "Druckschrift BY WOK" Any idea why is this? I'd like to have it in xterm or in uRxvt, even better.
