font available in fc-list but not in xlsfonts
Hello. I recently installed Droid font from Google Android project. The
font is then usable in most recent applications except traditional x11
applications. I then found fc-list can list this font but it does not
appear in the output of xlsfonts.
I first tried to install ttf-droid_1.00~b112+dfsg-0ubuntu1_all.deb and
then tried the manual way: to unpackage the font to
/usr/share/truetype/droid and add this path to FontPath in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. In both way I got the same result.
zhangweiwu@casablanca:~$ xlsfonts |grep -Ei 'droid.?s'
zhangweiwu@casablanca:~$ fc-list |grep -Ei 'droid.?s'
Droid Sans:style=Regular
Droid Serif:style=Bold
Droid Sans Fallback:style=Regular
Droid Sans:style=Bold
Droid Sans Mono:style=Regular
Droid Serif:style=Italic
Droid Serif:style=Bold Italic
Droid Serif:style=Regular
What could be the cause and what should I check next? Thanks.
By comparison Dejavu fonts works fine:
