As to fonts - you need something. For core fonts, ISTR that twm and xterm, and probably fluxbox and the 'box' WMs need core fonts. At a minimum, font- util, encodings, one size of font-adobe (probably 100dpi for most people). I also install font-misc-misc although I do not recall why. But for LXQT you probably only want TTF/OTF - at a pinch, font-bh-ttf from the xorg fonts might do, but really you will want dejavu. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
