I don't think it's cached. Are you absolutely certain you've spelled the path correctly? Have you tried re-typing the entry? Sometimes, some editors insert non-printable characters, that confuses the program that tries to read it. Have you looked in the log files to see if X reports why it can't read the directory? Just some ideas for trouble shooting. Anders On Friday 03 August 2001 23:44, Timothy R.Butler wrote:

I couldn't find the previous thread on this, but do you see the tt fonts with xlsfonts?
I gave that a try and it only reports the non-TT fonts. It's as if XF86Config is cached somewhere besides /etc/X11/XF86Config and so it doesn't read the up-to-date version that mentions TT fonts again...
Thanks, Tim
I'm still trying to figure out a very mysterous problem. After removing, and then adding back, the truetype font directory to my XF86Config, no normal X apps can see my tt fonts. The only apps that see my fonts are those using XFT/Render (i.e. QT/KDE apps). This is fine for me most of the time, but it's frustrating as it makes it difficult to use the GIMP.
