I have oodles of fonts installed. I searched for a font called 'Fixed 16' and did not find it. I suspect that you are seeing this name in an interface, and that it is a generic name rather than the actual name of the font. If you still have a system where this font is installed, do a find on that system under /usr. Something like find /usr -iname '*font*' | less should bring up every font file on the system. Within the less page do a search on 16. That will show you every 16 pixel? / kern? font. One of those will probably be the font you are looking for. Then do a rpm -qf [path to font]/[font name] to find the package it belongs to. Failing that approach, what is the application that uses this font? Look in the source and configuration for that application to see which font it is actually using, behind the scenes. This must be an exceptional font for you to trouble yourself over it to such an extent. I find the terminus fonts to have the same characteristic. They are wonderful fonts, and the care that went into crafting them shows in their presentation. Perhaps they might substitute. terminus-fonts terminus-fonts-console -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
