fontconfig depends on freetype support for .pcf.gz font files; it's likely your freetype doesn't have support for these fonts. ok i waswrong, the issue is not with gzip compressed fonts but with fonts in subdirectories. the standard font.conf defines /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts as dir to search fonts but this doesnt seem to work. All subdirs are listed with zero fonts in the cache file. I guess its because there are some subdirs that dont contain valid fonts or something like it. defining all font dirs in the config file works. the other solution worked because i copied the some of the fonts to /usr/share/fonts without subdirs. There were plenty of issues with fonts in subdirectories in old font config bits, I think those are all fixed now. You may have to run fc-cache -f to make things work again, but I hope not. |
