Hello everyone,
I just recently installed CRUX 2.3 on one of my machines, and noticed that Xorg does not "see" the TrueType font Bitstream Vera.
When I say it doesn't see it I mean the output of xlsfonts does not list that font (
i.e. -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-bold-r-normal--30--75-75--*-iso8859-1 and others).
On a different machine with CRUX 2.2 the font worked fine, but that was with Xorg 6.9. I have been looking around google a lot, but I'm not getting anywhere. My configuration is as follows:
- The package xorg-font-bitstream-vera is installed.
- I verified that the files for that font exist in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/.
- I also verified that "freetype" is installed, and loaded in the "modules" section of my
xorg.conf.
- The correct font directory is also included in xorg.conf (FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/").
Am I missing something?
Individual applications such as Abiword or Firefox can use Bitstream Vera fine. The problem is specific to applications such as xosd that depend upon Xorg's access to the fonts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
