If I simply place fonts in a subdirectory under /etc/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, and run SuSEconfig, the fonts are not loaded when the KDM is loaded. If I add the new path to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, they will load. The problem with modifying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is that it has a corresponding /etc/X11/xorg.conf.md5 which means YaST wants to control the file.
When I copy the fonts to ~/.fonts, and add the following to the ~/.fonts.conf: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>~/.fonts/wri/4.1/truetype</dir> <dir>~/.fonts/wri/4.1/Type1</dir> </fontconfig>
X still fails to load the fonts. Putting the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/wri/4.1/truetype /usr/share/fonts/wri/4.1/Type1 likewise fails. I would rather not edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Is there an alternative? With SuSE 9.3 I loaded additional fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and ran SuSEconfig -module fonts. I "think" that is the folder you have to use. Worked perfect for me.
