Hello! I just found out that Pango ignores the pangox.aliases file - changing, even removing the file didn't affect the behavior of Pango's virtual fonts sans, sefif and monospace. I am very displeased with the current behavior of these fonts, and using actual fonts in Gnome is only a temporary solution, since sometimes this yields pretty unattractive pairing of latin and japanese fonts. I am using Gentoo linux and Pango 1.6.0, but the problem was present in Pango 1.4.0 too. I tried setting up a pangorc to explicitly point Pango to pangox.aliases, with the PANGO_RC_FILE variable pointing to it, to no avail whatsoever. I also tried to configure a pangoxft.alias file, referencing it from pangorc as [PangoXft] AliasFiles=/etc/pango/pangoxft.aliases I have no idea what is the problem. My pangox.aliases file is the following: sans normal normal normal normal \ "-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-mikachan-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" sans italic normal normal normal \ "-monotype-arial-medium-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-mikachan-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" sans normal normal bold normal \ "-monotype-arial black-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -monotype-arial-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-mikachan_pb-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" sans italic normal bold normal \ "-monotype-arial-bold-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-mikachan_pb-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" serif normal normal normal normal \ "-monotype-garamond-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -monotype-times new roman-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-kochi mincho-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" serif italic normal normal normal \ "-monotype-garamond-medium-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -monotype-times new roman-medium-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-kochi mincho-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" serif normal normal bold normal \ "-monotype-garamond-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -monotype-times new roman-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-kochi mincho-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" serif italic normal bold normal \ "-monotype-times new roman-bold-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-kochi mincho-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" monospace normal normal normal normal \ "-monotype-courier new-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-kochi gothic-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" monospace italic normal normal normal \ "-monotype-courier new-medium-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-kochi gothic-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" monospace normal normal bold normal \ "-monotype-courier new-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-kochi gothic-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" monospace italic normal bold normal \ "-monotype-courier new-bold-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,\ -*-kochi gothic-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*" _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
