Re: [SLUG] X11 Font?


Hi Nick,

Thanks for the reply.

We've acutally just sussed it out. Apparently FC2 has font scaling disabled by default. All we did was add these two lines under "catalogue=" to the
/etc/X11/fs/config and it fixed it.

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi

Thanks again,
-Mal

Anyway I keep getting this error:

Mal,

Did you type this or paste it?
There appear to be 14 fields in this XLFD (X Logical Font Descriptor), where
there should be 13.


		  $ xlsfonts | grep helvetica | less

		  -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-176-iso10646-1
		  -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-176-iso8859-1
		  etc

I doubt whether that's due to the differences between distributions. It's
either a typo or a screw loose in the error messages of the software.

The 480 is the POINT_SIZE, (i.e 48pt). If I look for 48pt fonts here

		  $ xlsfonts | grep 480
		  -cc-song-medium-r-normal-jiantizi-48-480-75-75-c-480-gb2312.1980-0
		  -hrnet&hcr-grtex-bold-i-normal--50-480-75-75-p-326-iso8859-2

I get a few, but no helvetica. Maybe you need to look for a larger helvetica 
somewhere. I'll have a go as well later.

Nick
