It is finally working fine. Looking a /var/log/Xorg.0.log there are numerous problems with fonts. Since I always seem to be moving over (word) documents from windows, I need as many fonts installed as possible, related to what one might expect from word documents. Additionally, I need to maintain a robust set of gentoo/linux centric fonts. (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/util". Entry deleted from font path. (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/util"). (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/encodings". Entry deleted from font path. (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/encodings"). (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/local" does not exist. Entry deleted from font path. (WW) The directory "/usr/local/share/fonts" does not exist. Entry deleted from font path. (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/default". Entry deleted from font path. (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/default"). (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/TTF" does not exist. Entry deleted from font path. (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/type1" does not exist. Entry deleted from font path. .... So how does one go about systematically installing and maintaining a complete set of fonts on a gentoo system, particularly those related to a variety of windows generated document fonts wikis: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts http://wiki.gentoo-xeffects.org/Font_Rendering Any other resources I should read?
