If I do not have (want) an xorg.conf file, but I want to add fonts to the system, what is the preferred location?
Of course there's the X Font Server ;-) But the question is 'what directories does X use for fonts in the absence of a config file? However I'm sure that the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* files count :-)
They are ttf fonts. So I guess I could add them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. But I really do not like adding things to directories I see as being managed by the system. It seems that X does not look, by default (i.e., without an xorg.conf file), in all folders in /usr/share/fonts. If it had, I could have added a 'local' or some such directory.
I do have ~anton/,fonts but I specify that in the XFS. Using 'strings' on /usr/bin/X uncovers the following: libXfont.so.1 /usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/TTF/,/usr/share/fonts/OTF/,/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/ I'm sure the source would reveal more :-) -- Life is like an analogy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
