(did you remember joe? :-<) please tell me someone if i'm wrong, but this is the normal way if i want to add fonts for use with X/fontconfig/Xft: (or?) 1. insert the new fontpath into XF86Config 2. fonts.conf: standard = top-level of the X11-fonts direcory. 3. fc-cache -f -v 4. local.conf: only rewrites some font settings 5. start gnome and be happy. this i've done: 1. installing bitstream-vera -> no more fonts available 2. adding the new fontpath to XF86Config. 3. - 100. please don't ask me any more what i did. (many recurrences) 101. delete _every_ fonts.cache-1 and ~/.fonts.cache-1 102. write _every_ font-path ... (like FontPath in XF86Config) into local.conf = revert to state of local.conf before installing the vera-fonts 103. including the additional vera-directory to local.conf 104. gnome is starting again. where a the pitfalls i've overseen or are my thoughts basically wrong? franz. -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
