You know, I'd believe that if Debian were the only constant producing the difference with Gentoo, but Arch does as well. I can transfer the entire lucida portion of the 100dpi font directory in Gentoo over to Arch, update the cache, copy these fonts over to /usr/share/fonts and amend /etc/fonts/fonts.conf in Arch to show <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> at the right place and still experience this difference. It's maddening. My only thought has been to identify some difference in the /etc/fonts/font.conf in these distros but there isn't even a reference to lucida in any of them. This difference has to be accounted for somehow, but how? jlowell
