hi

I'm very confused by the xft/ gtk2 stuff in gentoo. I am sure I am doing something basic wrong and wondered if anyone could help.

The phoenix-bin ebuild gives this error when launched, and I get the 'fuzzy' fonts thing. However, I have beautiful fonts in gnome apps and in the control centre, etc. I passed USE="gtk2" when emerging phoenix.

I have run ttmkfdir in the font dirs mentioned in the error

My XF86Config points to the correct font dirs

More info if necessary. Does anyone else get this problem?

TAI

george

I too have this issue.

I beleive this is the reason why I can not run gnome with AA.

the TTF and truetype font directories seem to be "invalid" according to gnome/X.

Can anyone help us out please?

I have unmerged and emerged xfree and freefont manytimes including wiping out the entier fonts directory and config files.

I don't know if this will help you

Every time I add or remove a truetype font I run this commands
cd /usr/bin/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType or wherever your font dir is, then:

Code: Select all

ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
mkfontdir
fc-cache
xftcache
This works for me, if you don't have ttmkfdir you have to emerge it

Code: Select all

emerge ttmkfdir

I had my fonts installed but none of the fonts served by xfs were showing up in X, by which I mean no TT fonts. I had to add "unix/:7100" to my font path list in /etc/X11/XF86Config so it would actually listen to the font server! Damn. This took me like 3 months to figure out, I kid you not. Here's the section of the file:

Code: Select all

Section "Files"
        RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
        ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
        ..... more lines here .....
        FontPath     "unix/:7100"

EndSection

I'm sorta having this problem too... I tried just about every possible solution posted on the forum.. But none of them have the desired effect...

Strange thing is that it's just the truetype and TTF directory contents which give problems, but my directory with MS fonts doesn't give any problems...

And weren't some MS fonts truetype fonts?

best regards...
