Hi,
I did try running fc-cache, but as me... I don't have root. Must
one run it as root? Is there a way to install it such that you don't
have to be root.
Also, here is a list of files in the pango modules dir:
> ls /usr/local/lib/pango/1.2.0/modules/
pango-arabic-ft2.la pango-arabic-ft2.so pango-arabic-x.la
pango-arabic-x.so pango-arabic-xft.la pango-arabic-xft.so
pango-basic-ft2.la pango-basic-ft2.so pango-basic-x.la
pango-basic-x.so pango-basic-xft.la pango-basic-xft.so
...
I assume that at least one of those is a "usable font". Thanks again
for your help.
