Re: text/Fonts missing in certain apps ???



Hello

I added these paths to my /etc/X11/xorg.coSection "Files"

so it now looks like this:

#       FontPath        "unix/:7100"                    # local font server
        # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
#       FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
#       FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
#       FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
#       FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
#       FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/CID"
#       FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
#       FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
#       FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc:unscaled"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi:unscaled"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi:unscaled"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
        FontPath     "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection nf

But, the three apps, ardour, xmms, audacity are still not displaying any text in the menus

Are the following paths in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

Section "Files"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
    FontPath     "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection

The directories under /usr/lib/X11/fonts are no longer in use since
Xorg 7.0. Also, the path unix/:7100 is only needed if you are using a
font server (which you do not appear to be).


Thanks Liam, no, I am not using a font server - I'll check these paths tonight.
