But in fedora there is no need for something along defoma to have the X server using Type1 fonts. I think that using something along defoma would be useful for packages that don't use fontconfig and still have a way to use a list of fonts. So it wouldn't be for X, gnome/kde/openoffice, but for other applications that don't use fontconfig. It may also happen that it would be better to port t1lib to use fontconfig to find the font files. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
