 |
|
Hi,
conky fails to start on my system:
| Code: |
conky: desktop window (79c) is root window
conky: drawing to desktop window
conky: drawing to double buffer
conky: forked to background, pid is 27996
conky: can't load font '6x10'
conky: can't load font 'fixed'
|
USE flag truetype is set and
query list "*" |grep "font"
shows
| Code: |
app-eselect/eselect-fontconfig-1.1-r1
media-fonts/corefonts-1-r7
media-fonts/dejavu-2.37
media-fonts/encodings-1.0.5-r1
media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.3-r2
media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi-1.0.3-r2
media-fonts/font-alias-1.0.4
media-fonts/font-misc-misc-1.1.2-r2
media-fonts/font-util-1.3.2-r1
media-fonts/freefonts-0.10-r4
media-fonts/urw-fonts-2.4.9

x11-apps/xfontsel-1.0.6
x11-libs/libXfont2-2.0.4
x11-libs/libfontenc-1.1.4
|
xorg.log shows that
| Code: |
27.029] (==) FontPath set to:
/usr/share/fonts/misc/,
/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,
/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/
|
is set. other than that all seems fine.
Any Idea what went south?

AFAIK, the fonts available for conky are checking so:
| Code: | fc-cache -f -v
fc-list | grep -i desired_font |
(The first command regenerates the font cache.) |

Okay I tried fc-cache -f -v apparently it regenerated the font cache.
fc-list | grep -i "fixed" shows:

What if you try this?
| Code: | | font = 'Misc Fixed:size=10', |

Turned out I needed to include
in my config. Strange I took the config file from another gentoo machine and there it works without this flag.
Anyway thanks for the help!  |
