Kde should pick the fonts just the same moment you install them. Other X programs need a re-building of the font cache. That is done when X is restarted, but you can also do it manually on a term with something like this: xset fp rehash That will re-read all the font dirs (the default gentoo configuration include system dirs and also local dirs, like ~/.fonts/). If you want to add a font path, you need to issue this other command before the one above: xset +fp /new/path of xset fp+ /new/path To prepend or append a new path, then rehash it as shown above. The xfs solution is something that is mostly deprecated, and it is a resource waste and a completely useless thing on a desktop machine. I don't recommend the xfs stuff at all. --=20 Jes=FAs Guerrero -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
