 |
|
Hi!
I've installed some new fonts in the truetype directory. My /etc/X11/XF86Config file looks like this now:
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
EndSection
I can use the Fonts in the truetype directory everywhere but in gimp.
When i enter "xset -q" the output is:
/usr/kde/3/share/fonts/override,
/home/geka/.kde3/share/fonts/override,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,
/home/geka/.kde3/share/fonts,
/usr/kde/3/share/fonts
why doesn't it show my truetype directory? Any Idea?

Sounds like a problem with Xft. There have been issues with xft and kde and gimp recently: posted here.
Check your xftconfig files.

Could be going on a limb here but do you have freetype module loading. Here is a snip from my XF86Config.
| Code: |
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-buffering
Load "GLcore" # OpenGL support
Load "dri" # Direct rendering infrastructure
Load "glx" # OpenGL X protocol interface
Load "extmod" # Misc. required extensions
# Load "v4l" # Video4Linux
# Load "pex5" # PHIGS for X 3D environment (obsolete)
# Load "record" # X event recorder
# Load "xie" # X Image Extension (obsolete)
# You only need the following two modules if you do not use xfs.
Load "freetype" # TrueType font handler
Load "type1" # Adobe Type 1 font handler
EndSection
|
If that isn't in there then it won't load the fonts. |

check /etc/X11/fs and see if:
| Code: | | /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype |
is there?
I'm not sure what version of X you're running. I'm currently running X4.2.1.
If you are running the latest and greatest, take a look in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
and make sure those lines are added in:
| Code: |
<!-- Font directory list configured for Gentoo -->
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
|
Be sure you are not in X. Be root and type /etc/init.d/xfs restart, then start X again. I know this is a bit of a pain but you should be able to tell where the files are linked to etc.
