I.e. it works as expected.
Okay, that's good to know. I'm unfortunately not at the machine that
was giving me problems, I'll to through those exact steps in a week or two.
# emerge -aqv media-fonts/courier-prime
...
$ xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/courier-prime
$ xset q | grep prime
/usr/share/fonts/courier-prime,/usr/share/fonts/freefont,/usr/local/share/fonts,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/OTF/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,built-ins
$ xlsfonts | grep -i prime
$
So my courier-prime fp doesn't dissapear, but xlsfonts doesn't
report them as a core font.
I run fvwm2 on an older X without udev, can it be a fancy modern destop
that changes this under the hood for you ?
I run fvwm2, too. :-)
I can see the font with
$ fc-list 'Courier prime'
/usr/share/fonts/courier-prime/Courier Prime Bold.ttf: Courier Prime:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/courier-prime/Courier Prime.ttf: Courier Prime:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/courier-prime/Courier Prime Bold Italic.ttf: Courier
Prime:style=Bold Italic
/usr/share/fonts/courier-prime/Courier Prime Italic.ttf: Courier
Prime:style=Italic
Isn't the fontconfig system a separate, disconnected font service?
$ xfd -fa 'Courier prime'
...
I don't have that command and didn't find a man page right away on the
internet. I see there's a gentoo package for it, it looks useful.
Can the problem be that there is a space in the x core font name?
I renamed the files in the courier-prime package with dashes and
regenerated fonts.dir and the other one, too. Didn't help.
$ head -2 /usr/share/fonts/courier-prime/fonts.dir
16
Courier prime bold italic.ttf -misc-courier
prime-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
$
If I, as root, do:
cd /usr/share/fonts/courier-prime/
perl -wpi.bak -e 'tr/ /_/; s/_-/ -/' fonts.dir
perl -wpi.bak -e 'tr/ /_/; s/_-/ -/' fonts.scale
list=`ls -1 | grep Cour | tr ' ' '_'`
for i in $list; do b=`echo $i | tr '_' ' '`; mv "$b" $i; done
Then I can do:
$ xset fp rehash
I used my fixms(1) script (attached).
$ xlsfonts | grep -i prime | head -1
-misc-courier_prime-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
$ xfd -fn -misc-courier_prime-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

"-misc-courier_prime-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1" to type FontStruct
xfd: no font to display
$ xterm -fn -misc-courier_prime-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-0-iso10646-1
xterm: cannot load font
"-misc-courier_prime-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-0-iso10646-1"
Unfortunately, I cannot use it...
I don't think x likes core fonts with spaces in font- nor
filenames.

Okay, I didn't get that far. I'll try to get more documentation.
Thanks for looking into it.
