+How do you know you're missing fonts? I think /usr/share
+fonts/X11/misc, should include most othe ones non 100* and 75*, while
+most of the true type ones should be included under the defoma path.
fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/*.pcf.* are going to be ignored. By default.
By "design".
+Could you run "xlsfonts" under X, and see if you're missing any?
xlsfonts won't show the xfonts-* fonts until you fix something...
+fc-cache -fv
Should be enough...
HOWEVER... the problem is going to be a file called «no-bitmaps». it tells
fc-cache to /ignore/ binary fonts...
If you look at «/etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf» you'll see the following:
-%<- 70-no-bitmaps.conf -%<-
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Reject bitmap fonts -->
<selectfont>
<rejectfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
</pattern>
</rejectfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>
-%<- 70-no-bitmaps.conf -%<-
Its just a link to ../conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf so you can safely delete
it. You can also /force/ bitmap fonts (xfonts) to show up by linking
70-force-bitmaps.conf into /etc/fonts/conf.d/ however you *dont* need to
because it won't ignore them anymore.
Make sure you remember to run fc-cache -fv as *root* in order to flush the
*system* cache. You /will/ have to restart your X environment in order for them
to show up.
