manifestoe, I had some X problems (that I don't know if it was related with the font path file or not; can't say because I had other misconfigurations) and had to do a clean up on the X configs. While examining the issue I found out the way fonts add themselves to the X core system. They link their directories to /etc/X11/fontpath.d I did this to the ms fonts (after disabling 09-msttcore-fontpath.conf) and it works properly. So I suggest that you use this method in your script: instead of creating that fontpath file, simply ln -s /usr/share/fonts/msttcore to /etc/X11/fontpath.d/ See in my system: $ ll /etc/X11/fontpath.d/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 36 Jun 1 09:52 default-ghostscript -> /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 30 Jun 1 09:51 fonts-default -> /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Oct 9 17:04 msttcore -> /usr/share/fonts/msttcore/ lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 May 25 12:37 terminus:unscaled -> /usr/share/fonts/terminus lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 5 09:16 xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi:unscaled:pri=30 -> /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 26 Sep 21 08:27 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 -> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Jun 28 18:38 xorg-x11-fonts-misc:unscaled:pri=10 -> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
