Hi to all, I have an old X client that requests this font:
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-* ( /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/helvB12.pcf.gz ) Unfortunately, iso10646 encoding causes this client to show only boxes. I've found that I can fix it by manually editing /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.dir like so: < helvB12.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso10646-1 --- > helvB12.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso8859-1 ... changing the encoding to iso8859 for the font in question. My problem is that 'update-fonts-dir' completely un-does my edit! There's probably a defoma tweak that I need to make, but I can't figure it out. Is there a global setting to always prefer iso8859 for all fonts when possible? Any help is be greatly appreciated!
