Please review the way you configure fonts in your OS. In
/etc/fonts/conf.d, you are putting conflicting configuration files. For
example: 70-yes-bitmaps.conf and 70-no-bitmaps.conf are both there. Can you
guess what is the effect of this? I can't.
Oh dear, that's horribly broken.
The way that fontconfig works is to install a whole list of template
configuration files into
.../conf.avail, and then symlinks are placed into conf.d to pick up the
configuration you
actually want.
The OpenIndiana build appears to trample all over this. There's a minor
bug, in that you
can use --with-templatedir='/etc/fonts/conf.avail' rather than the current
mechanism of
leaving it at the default /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail and moving it
after the install.
But the actual problem is caused by creating symbolic links in conf.d for
*all* the files
in conf.avail, rather than (a) either leaving the links that 'make install'
creates alone, or
(b) removing and recreating only the symlinks that are present in conf.d
(the way that
solaris-userland does it, where it notes that 'Make links in conf.d be
relative links to
../conf.avail instead of absolute').
And it looks screwed up inside the files, too, reject=no for no-bitmaps
and accept=no for yes-bitmaps:
# cat /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<description>Reject bitmap fonts</description>
<!-- Reject bitmap fonts -->
<selectfont>
<rejectfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="outline"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
</pattern>
</rejectfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>
# cat /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-yes-bitmaps.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<description>Accept bitmap fonts</description>
<!-- Accept bitmap fonts -->
<selectfont>
<acceptfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="outline"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
</pattern>
</acceptfont>
</selectfont>
