 Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2003 9:55 am Post subject: Cyrillic fonts with mozilla problem. |
 |
|
Hi there,
Here is my issue: When I open a cyrillic encoded page like www.dir.bg, the cyrillic characters are all grabbled. I tried all the cyrillic encodings available and the result was the same. Then someone suggested to install Windows true type fonts in X. I did that but the problem still persists. Then I found in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic a bunch of cyrillic fonts. I went to install them and nothing. Still mozilla can't render correctly the cyrillic fonts. I've done also a google search with no luck.
I get pissed off everytime I have to go back to M$ Windows just to open cyrillic sites.
Can someone suggest me a solution? |

Are these fonts availble in moz (can you see some (or any) of TTFonts you installed in fc-list output)? |

| No they aren't. I begin to suspect that xfs is not being used at all. |

| pls post your XF86Config-4 and XftConfig (i don't see any reason for using xfs for local X) |

I've tried all possible configurations: Added FontPath to the fonts in XF86Config, disabled xfs, restarted X server, added dir path to XftConfig, etc.
Also, I couldn't find any decent documentation on the issue, so for now I'm giving up of the cyrillic fonts. |

Hey, well another guy with mozilla+cyrillic problem 
First of all, does mozilla open ofther cyrillic pages correctly?
Secondly: try to run (as root) fc-cache -v
If that does NOT help, then reemerge fontconfig.
Please let me know if it helps, cause I am trying to solve the simmilar problem for bug #24761 |

better use
this will process directories with apparently valid caches which are skipped with
good luck!  |

| Thanks guys. I'll try your suggestion tonight. I'll post the results in this thread. By the way, to reinstall fontconfig I have to "emerge -c fontconfig" and then "emerge fontconfig"? |

emerge fontconfig will do it. But *please* try my syggestion with fc-cashe command first, cause I really need to know wether that helps. |

fc-cache -v didn't work at all.
emerge fontconfig worked like a sharm
Thanks to all. |

| One more question: Can I disable xfs from running in the default runlevel? |

Of course: rc-update del xfs default
Note: Don't forget to specify correct FontPath's in XF86Config! |

I though FontPaths in XF86Config were only read by xfs, not fontconfig. I though fontconfig read the font paths from /etc/fonts/font.conf . What a mess  |

xfs reads fontpath in /etc/X11/fs/config. Xfree gets access to xfs when you set FontPath "unix/:-1". If you don't use xfs, then you don't set this unix/:-1, but instead specify FonPath's for every font dir. |
