Ending my work with a command like sudo halt from a terminal window results in no problem at all. But: When I do something like: aunpack mysourceproject.tar.7z; cd mysourceproject; \ ./configure && make && make install; sudo halt switch off my monitor and go to sleep, cause this will run for an hour, and start my box next morning again, all fonts, which are defined via xorg.conf are displayed in a very tine shape. Not affected are fonts used by mutt/vim/mrxvt and other "text-only" applications. I have to do a fc-cache as root, restart Icewm/X and the problem is fixed. But what is the reason for this? And what is the difference between doing a sudo halt while sitting in front of my monitor and doing a sudo halt unattended in a kind of batch job? What is the correct place to define a custom command to run on every system start (fc-cache in this case)? Thank you very much in advance for any help!
