Hello all,
Now that I've got my 2nd computer, I'm turning back to Linux from The Dark Side
. (Though I confess my most powerful computer stayed with Windows for gaming purpose
)
Anyways, I've got the following setup:
Debian Etch
Compiled kernel 2.6.17 + ck1 + reiser4
XOrg 7.0.22
fontconfig 2.3.2-7
WindowMaker 0.92.0-5.3
Gnome Desktop Environment 2.14.2.1
SCIM 1.4.4-4
To get SCIM working, I had to set either $LANG or $LC_CTYPE to zh_TW.
Went for LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.utf8 and left LANG=en_HK.UTF-8 because I want my applications in English.
If I stays in Metacity then everything's fine except that I just don't feel comfortable with it. Too slow and not as beautiful as WMaker.
When I switched to WMaker, to my horror everything is shown in a serif font.
I fired up WPerf and it shows it's using "Sans Serif".
Fired up WMakerConf and same thing.
I double checked my ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file and it showed "sans serif".
It seems GTK applications worked well since I do get the sans fonts in Firefox... etc.
Just WindowMaker getting messed up.
Here's my /etc/fonts/fonts.conf:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>
<!-- Font directory list -->
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>

The Bitstream Vera fonts have GASP entries suggesting that hinting be
disabled below 8 ppem, but FreeType ignores those, preferring to use
the data found in the instructed hints. The initial Vera release
didn't include the right instructions in the 'prep' table. Fix this
by disabling hinting manually at smaller sizes (< 8ppem)

Did a lot of Googling about fontconfig and WindowMaker but still don't konw where the problem is.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Many thanks
