Fontconfig bitmapped font's origin
Hello.
`dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig` asks whether to enable bitmapped fonts
or not; the effect is this (un)commented line in /etc/fonts/local.conf:
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
When the above line is not commented out (bitmapped fonts are enabled),
I can choose the "Fixed" font in my GNOME applications. However, a lot
of sites in Galeon (waferbaby.com, theregister.co.uk, etc.) begin to use
not-antialiased, ugly font all over their pages. When I choose not to
use bitmapped fonts (and the above line is commented out) these sites
look ok, but the font-selection dialog lacks the Fixed font.
Is there a way to check which exactly file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
is being used as the Fixed font? I believe I could copy that file to my
~/.fonts/ directory, keep the other bitmapped fonts turned off, and have
the best of both worlds...
Cheers,
