(Resending to the list on Keith's request) Hi, I haven't sent this as a bug report because I'm not sure yet how to do it. But here is the situation. I understand that fontconfig manages the prefered font list for X, or pango or some font rendering engine for that matter, I'm not really into the specifics. In general this works fine, but we have a problem with greek locale el_GR, or rather the display of greek glyphs. Unless I create a local.conf file that overrides the serif/sans-serif families with the MgOpen (package ttf-mgopen) or the FreeSans (ttf-freefont) fonts or any other font supporting greek glyphs), the greek glyphs don't appear at all, only squares. I'd gladly send a patch, if I knew a bit more about how it works. Is it just a case of adding FreeSans/FreeSerif and the MgOpen* fonts in the fonts.conf? If so, FreeSans/FreeSerif is already there, but apparently another font takes precedense and erroneously reports of supporting greek glyphs, while it can't. I'll try to play around with the priority in this, but if you know another way, then I'd be interested in knowing about it. Thanks Konstantinos
