For those following along at home, I may have left the wrong impression. I mentioned XftConfig for my font configuration, but that's actually the earlier version of font configuration. /etc/fonts/ and the fontconfig package are the successors.
I'm not sure which of these, if either, xterm uses, either alone or with the -fa option. Gnome2 and KDE3 both use fontconfig. xterm depends on libfreetype6, which I think means it uses the freetype2 (sic) engine, which uses fontconfig. (The earlier version, freetype1, had a .so version of 2, and so was packaged as libfreetype2!). I think this means that xterm -fa uses FreeType2 and the configuration in /etc/fonts/. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
