|
|
Hi all,
I think I may be missing something as big as an an "elephant" here.
I generated a the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-fonts
Code: | Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/consolefonts/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
...
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/terminus/"
...
EndSection |
but when I run xfontsel (as root or user) those fonts ae not available. However, if I do
Code: | xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/terminus/
xset fp rehash |
everything works.
I am aware that I can "xset" in .xinitrc, but why isnt 10-fonts isnt workng?
Or, is there a particular reason for not setting fonts up in "xorg.conf.d/" ?
Thanks!
Efo

Did you run mkfontdir in all the necessary places? |

Hi Ant P.,
thank you for the reply.
I ran mkfontdir in usr/share/fonts/ as well as in usr/share/fonts/terminus/, I have "fonts.dir" and "fonts.scale" in both directories, and in the terminus one I also have "encodings.dir" |

Just to get the obvious thing out of the way: have you made sure the file ends in ".conf"? |
