Rodney Sparapani writes: On Linux and DarwinPorts, it's all packaged, with dependencies appropriate on an appropriate set of fonts, so I've never actually had to deal in depth with the search process at this level. I'll tell you what I know or can guess, but .... sorry. There should be a fonts.conf file, probably in /etc or in /etc/fonts. That file will have a list of places to look. It probably looks like this: <!-- Font directory list --> <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> You presumably don't have a local.conf or a ~/.fonts.conf, but those can also define search paths. You could try undoing the /usr/share/fonts link, create the .fonts directory in ~, and copy one of the sane fonts (eg, Bitstream Vera, typically called Vera.ttf) from /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType into the user font directory and see if things are saner. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
