How do I go about doing this? Does Xftconfig state this font belongs to this family. If so, would I need to do that for the system wide file or for my particular file in my ~ directory? -----Original Message----- From: Douglas J.

When I try to change the fixed font in KDE2 there is only fixed in the selection. How do I change this so I can select any font w/ a fixed width? If, I cannot do this where is the file that describes what font is substituted for another? Thanks!

this is a current issue w/ qt and kde... the qt3 releases have fixed this... however kde will be qt2.x based for a while now... you can edit your XftConfig file to mess with the font families... - -- Douglas J.

Is it correct that XftConfig deals only with TrueType fonts and pays no attention to (or misunderstands) bitmapped fonts? My impression is that the relationship between TrueType fonts and the other kinds historically used in X (PostScript, bitmapped) is still in flux, so the behavior of XFree and KDE in dealing with them has many anomalies.

yes. XftConfig for TT fonts, XF86Config for others - -- Douglas J.
