I use debian lenny and I have met the same problem: the user can not use bitmap fonts using an appropriate ~/.fonts.conf file. If /var/cache/fontconfig exists it is used instead of the local one (~/.fontconfig). I reversed two lines in file /etc/fonts/fonts.conf that define the cache path. Now the first one is the local that is followed by the system-wide cache path: <cachedir>~/.fontconfig</cachedir> <cachedir>/var/cache/fontconfig</cachedir> After it user level changes has effect.
It is better to write these lines in a new file: local.conf or in your own ~/.fonts.conf since /etc/fonts/fonts.conf should not be edit by hand. -- Updating /var/cache/fontconfig with no-bitmaps disables bitmap fonts also for users that enable them https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
