No, changes aren't only taken at build-time. There are two different font setups right now: 1) fontconfig, Xft and freetype, for which fonts are listed in fonts.conf and local.conf; 2) core fonts, for which fonts are listed in XF86Config or served using xfs. Most applications use the newer fonts.conf/local.conf setup, however some legacy applications still use the old setup (gtk1 applications I believe, for example). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
