Now i know a bit more:

there is xorg-conf.d

we added a 50-files like this: Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/URW" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" EndSection

and the resulting font path is:

Font Path:

/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/URW,/usr/share/fonts/Spee do,/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic,/usr/share/fonts/truetype,/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/75d pi:unscaled

Is the X-server now looking for xorg-conf.d/* instead of xorg.conf ?

Of course. The idea was not to set these entries. Instead add/remove font path entries on-the-fly to figure out what needs to be changed.

i will try tomorrow and report when i find something. re, wh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+help@opensuse.org

I have some news about the font problem:

the wired think is that these path now shows up two times with "xset q". so far we are confused.

So it works with the following font path order: /usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/URW/,/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/misc/sgi:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/truetype/,built-ins I guess that then the fonts in 75dpi are preferred by the xforms toolkit. The changed behaviour is a bit weird since we had such a static font path order in xorg.conf (created by SaX2) since about a decade. FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" One workaround would be to start the xforms-toolkit applications via a wrapper, which adjusts the font path first xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled; xset fp rehash But since this affects also all other applications, which are still using X11 server side rendering, you can add this line also to your ~/.xinitrc.

One workaround would be to start the xforms-toolkit applications via a wrapper, which adjusts the font path first

xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled; xset fp rehash

But since this affects also all other applications, which are still using X11 server side rendering, you can add this line also to your ~/.xinitrc.

yep, what is realy strange is that the entry appears double, and it is working.

No, that isn't strange. The path order is hardcoded. Then you add this path at the beginning. If you want to avoid that, just use: xset -fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled xset fp rehash

The behavior is reproduceable with a OS11.3 install but not with a live-cd.

Makes no sense to me. In both cases the path(-order) is hardcoded. Thanks, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
