Hi XFree86 fails to render TTF fonts on my computer. This is true for the bundled fonts/TTF/* as well as the Windows fonts.
There are two problems: 1. XFree86 does not appear to include the X11 fonts/TTF directory in the font path by default. This can be shown by removing the Luxi fonts in the fonts/Type1 directory and rehashing. The server should use the TTF versions instead, but it does not see these fonts at all. This can be fixed using xset fp+, but surely the TTF font directory should be included in the path by default? 2. After xset fp+ and rehash, the TrueType fonts are listed in e.g. xfontsel. However, they are not rendered (or are rendered blank)! The same is true for my custom-installed TrueType fonts. They worked in XFree86 3.x, however, using the same installation procedure. Other fonts are fine, but all TrueType fonts are effectively invisible. This is on a fresh installation of Cygwin DLL 1.5.5-1 running on Windows 2000 SP4, with XFree86-bin-4.3.0-6. Cheers Michael
