 Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2003 4:28 am Post subject: Artwiz and fluxbox problems |
 |
|
I've been reading the forums for a while, and I can't seem to solve this. I followed the directions for installing the artwiz fonts at:
http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/artwiz-aleczapka/README
which state:
| Quote: | cd your_font_dir
tar xvjf artwiz-aleczapka.tar.bz2
cd artwiz-aleczapka
fc-cache -fv ./
Add this path to your /etc/X11/XF86Config config
FontPath "your_font_dir/artwiz-aleczapka"
and fontconfig config file (eg. /etc/fonts/local.conf)
<dir>your_font_dir/artwiz-aleczapka</dir>
restart X |
After a restart, I can type
| Code: | # fc-list | grep anorexia
anorexia:style=Regular |
So fc-list thinks that artwiz is installed. However, when I try to use the font in aterm under fluxbox I get:
| Code: | $ aterm -fn anorexia
aterm: can't load font "anorexia" |
Also, if I run xfontsel, I cannot see any of the artwiz fonts listed.
However, if I run gnome-font-properties, I see all the artwiz fonts listed. I'm not sure what to try next. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks,
Chuck |

Neither aterm nor xfontsel do support the new fontconfig/freetype style approach to fonts. Use 'xterm -fa anorexia' for the terminal and stay with fc-list to explore your freetype fonts ...

Thanks. I was beating my head trying to figure that out. One wierd thing is happening though. This works perfectly:
| Code: | | xterm -fa 'smoothansi' -fg gray -bg black -ls |
but this give a segmentation fault:
| Code: | | xterm -fa 'anorexia' -fg gray -bg black -ls |
Both are artwiz fonts, so I'm not sure why one would work and one would not. Another wierd message shows if I get when I run either of the above commands:
| Code: | | Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "localhost.localdomain:1.0" |
But it doesn't seem to affect it since the smoothansi still works. Anyone seen that before? Thanks again for your help.

So apparently it will work under aterm. When I try I get:
| Code: | $ aterm -fn anorexia
aterm: can't load font "anorexia" |
Yet I can see the other artwiz fonts under xterm. I'm sure I've set something up wrong, I jsut can't figure it out. |

| If/when you do figure it out - please post your solution here. I'd love to know why I have the exact same problem... |

hi again.
i have no problem loading that font on whatever terminal (rxvt , aterm , xterm, eterm )
the way i installed the fonts was :
mkdir .fonts
put all the fonts i want to install inside that dir.
then i ran mkfontdir
added the path ( "/home/ikaro/.fonts" ) to /etc/X11/XF86Config
| Code: |
FontPath "/home/ikaro/.fonts/"
|
restarted X
My fonts.dir

then i have a huge "fonts.cache-1" and a huge "fonts.scale" files.
my fonts dir is 18MB with 233 diferent font types and growing.
i can put those files online if you think it might help anything.

| Everything I have matches that, except this I do not have a fonts.scale file. How does that get generated? |

i think fonts.scaled is only usefull for fonts wthat can be scaled, anorexia and the artwiz collection can't.
so i dont think it matters.
*edit*
ive used google and found this nice tread :
http://linuxquestions.org/questions/history/98546
hope that helps.
