sorry, i neglected to mention that i did run ldconfig after making the changes. but i didn't know about checking ld.so.conf, thanks for that. the only directory listing in there remotely to do with fonts is for /usr/X11R6/lib. i added /usr/local/lib and got a message about libfontconfig.so.1 not being a symbolic link, so i linked it to libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 (and ran ldconfig ;)) -- no change! i'm really getting frustrated -- another unfortunate effect is that all the italic fonts on the web are bolded -- what in the world is controlling the font rendering??? thx --- Ciprian Popovici <ciprian@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Quoting synaptical <synaptical@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > here's what i came up with, does anything seem awry? the extra/duplicate > files in /usr/local/lib don't seem to be an issue, b/c when i move those > libfontconfig files and the /usr/local/lib/freetype directory and restart > X, i get the same results. thx. Ah, but you should also run 'ldconfig' between the library moves. See if that changes anything. Also, see what you have in /etc/ld.so.conf. -- Ciprian Popovici _______________________________________________ fontconfig mailing list fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig _____________________________________________________________ Thank you for choosing LinuxQuestions. http://www.linuxquestions.org
