If you can get what you want with only a small change to your configuration, then I'd say you're in business. > To some up, before it fas fixed-9/gnome-selector, now it is > fixed-10/gnome-selector. I just do not understand that .... I'm sure with sufficient time and energy we could uncover the precise set of changes which has this effect, but it's not likely that we'll get it fixed upstream, nor am I willing to patch the debian version to fix this regression. > And you know why I like it: It has the smallest vertical height and that > is precious on my laptop. The other fonts have too big a height. I'd say that the actual bug here is that we don't have any way to select among these PCF fonts other than trying various patterns to see which work. Perhaps the right thing to do would be to add aliases to each PCF font based on the filename so we'd at least be able to request '6x13' and have that work reliably across fontconfig changes. -- keith.pack...@intel.com
