I am trying to install ProggyClean pcf font from http://www.proggyfonts.com/index.php?menu=download. I've read a couple of tutorials on how to do this, but still the font does not show up in the font selection dialog of GVIM. xlsfonts shows that the font is installed. I can even choose it with xfontsel utility. However, the it is not shown in font selector inside GVIM (or other text editors such as gedit or kedit).
Is the font seen by fontconfig at all? Check the output of the 'fc-list' command. If the font appears there then it should be available to other applications such as gedit. This should at least help you to narrow down where the problem is.
Hi, Thank you for helping me out. fontconfig does not notice this font. Here's some output: $ ls ~/.fonts fonts.dir ProggyClean.pcf.gz $ fc-cache -vf ~./fonts /home/mike./fonts: skipping, no such directory /var/cache/fontconfig: not cleaning unwritable cache directory /home/mike/.fontconfig: cleaning cache directory fc-cache: succeeded $ fc-list | grep -i proggy Font selector inside GVIM doesn't see it either. I don't know where I can go from here to diagnose this problem. Thank you for any suggestions. -Mike
