It ought to fix JimC's issue, but not the more general > losing-fonts issue. It does not fix the issue about loosing fonts I have reported, I still see the same problem. Although it does fix JimC's issue that path names are not stored in the per-directory cache files, it creates the problem that fc-list cannot list the path to the fonts anymore. For example, if I have two copies of tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf in ~/.fonts and in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype: mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ ll tahoma* -rw-r--r-- 1 mfabian suse 379588 8? 6 2004 tahoma.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 mfabian suse 352020 8? 6 2004 tahomabd.ttf mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ ll /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/tahoma* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 257636 9? 22 06:57 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/tahoma.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 252384 9? 22 06:57 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/tahomabd.ttf mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ Then fc-list cannot tell me anymore where in my system the "Tahoma" fonts are: mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ fc-list : family file | grep -i tahoma tahoma.ttf: Tahoma tahomabd.ttf: Tahoma mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ Even if only the local file name is stored in the per-directory cache-files, fc-list should be able to list the full path names, shouldn't it? While reading the cache files, fontconfig knows from what directory the cache file has been read. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@xxxxxxx> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian ?????????????
