Subject: [gentoo-dev] XFree 4.3.0 and XftConfig
Date: Thu, 8 May 2003 21:21:20 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b9ehog$afo$1@main.gmane.org> (raw)
I think that the /etc/X11/XftConfig configuration file is
completely ignored by XFree version 4.3.0 and above.
According to the documentation on www.xfree.org the Xft library
shipped with this version of XFree uses fontconfig. Fontconfig
is configured in the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file.
My changes to XftConfig had no effect. Only changes to fonts.conf
are effective. Can anyone confirm that ?
In case the XftConfig file is not used for anything anymore then
the XFree ebuild should be modified to install the file as
XftConfig.obsolete or something like that. Existence of the file
is very confusing to the user who is trying to configure fonts.
I am going to report this problem to the maintainers of the
XFree ebuild in case no one points out something I missed.
Thanks.
