I'm not a fonts expert and for UI I usually just stick to the defaults, so I'm not sure I can help much here, anyway: Where exactly are you missing the extra fonts? I just made a quick test (on my FreeBSD 14 machine running xfce from latest) and in mousepad (xfce text editor) I see various fonts in the list (serto, caladea, carlito, Liberation) and can choose those. Maybe I'm checking the wrong place? Have you tried forcing reinstallation of the fonts packages on your system? maybe some caching was lost, reinstalling the package would force rebuilding the font caches. I also see various suggestions to add paths to xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d Do you have any? I think modern xorg does not need those and does a pretty good job at autodetecting fonts, such lines could actually confuse it. -- Guido Falsi
