fontconfig, xftconfig, xf86config... I'm lost :-(
Hello there,
I've dist-upgraded my Sarge box today, and I see that fontconfig
has been installed. I've heard of it before, but I'd like to know
how it will interact withe my previously existing fonts
installation.
Here it goes:
In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
=========================
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
In /etc/X11/XftConfig:
======================
dir "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/"
dir "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
Is it true that fontconfig will only be used by GTK2 apps?
Should I put all my TrueType fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype?
Thanks for your help!
