 |
|
Hello, I posted this in https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata/issues/903 but I believe that this is an issue with Gentoo's build and not Cantata nor Qt's handling of fonts.
using cantata 2.0.1 on ~amd64 with qt 5.7.1 and I see missing icons. According to the issue report this is an issue with fontawesome, a ttf of which is installed with cantata under /usr/share/cantata/fonts. However, I believe my system is using the wrong font:
| Code: |
$ lsof -p 2072 | grep awesome
cantata 2072 user mem REG 259,2 173219 1449416 /usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/fontawesome/FontAwesome.pfb
$
|
And I get the errors:
| Code: |
Failed to compute left/right minimum bearings for "FontAwesome"
|
How can I make sure that cantata is loading the file under /usr/share/cantata/fonts and not the one provided by texmf?
UPDATE: if I move texmf's pfb file out of the way then cantata loads the right font file

Ok so I must confess that I never understood how font configuration works, mostly cause I never cared, and eselect fontconfig enable/disable did the trick all of the time.
Now I copied the provided fontawesome-4.3.0.ttf to ~/.local/share/font and added it to the cache as
| Code: |
$ cp /usr/share/cantata/fonts/fontawesome-4.3.0.ttf .local/share/fonts/
$ cd .local/share/fonts/
$ mkfontscale
$ mkfontdir
$ fc-cache -fv ~/.local/share/font
|
I can see the font installed:
| Code: |
$ fc-list | grep awesome
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/fontawesome/FontAwesome.pfb: FontAwesome:style=Regular
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/fontawesome/FontAwesome.otf: FontAwesome:style=Regular
/home/user/.local/share/fonts/fontawesome-4.3.0.ttf: FontAwesome:style=Regular
$
|
But fc-match does not give me what I want:
| Code: |
$ fc-match fontAwesome
FontAwesome.otf: "FontAwesome" "Regular"
|
And still the same Qt error above. |
