Well, shut my mouth. I'd never grokked that about Defoma. That's cool. I've been patching my /etc/X11/Xftconfig as well as XF86Config-4 to manually point to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera. Your suggestion says to only update XF86Config-4. Should I point XftConfig to /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType as well? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
