Nothing (but there are absolutely no reasons that font files for helvetica have such a name). > find /usr -name fonts.dir | xargs grep -i 'helvetica-bold-r-.*180' Nothing either. It seems that you missed other possibilities, such as font aliases, and the fact that fonts may have 0 (scalable fonts?) instead of 180. I get the following: zira:~> find /usr -name fonts.alias | xargs grep -i 'helvetica-bold-r-' /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/fonts.alias:variable -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.alias:-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 "-urw-nimbus sans l-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1" /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.alias:-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2 "-urw-nimbus sans l-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2" /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.alias:-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15 "-urw-nimbus sans l-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15" /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.alias:-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-narrow--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 "-urw-nimbus sans l-bold-r-condensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1" /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.alias:-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-narrow--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2 "-urw-nimbus sans l-bold-r-condensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2" /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.alias:-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-narrow--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15 "-urw-nimbus sans l-bold-r-condensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15" Now, concerning -urw-nimbus fonts: zira:~> find /usr -name fonts.dir | xargs grep -i 'urw-nimbus.*bold.*iso8859-1$' /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir:n019004l.pfb -urw-nimbus sans l-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir:n019024l.pfb -urw-nimbus sans l-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir:n019044l.pfb -urw-nimbus sans l-bold-r-condensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir:n019064l.pfb -urw-nimbus sans l-bold-i-condensed--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir:n022004l.pfb -urw-nimbus mono l-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir:n022024l.pfb -urw-nimbus mono l-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 zira:~> dlocate n019004l.pfb gsfonts: /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019004l.pfb gsfonts-x11: /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/n019004l.pfb Everything seems consistent on my system. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
