LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] fixing font cache naming

one dockapp, and I've ad others give me this error about a specific font. On this distro I actually found the font it was looking for so I installed it. But, still it fails due to how it is written being case sensitive.

So I was wondering if there is a way to fix this in the font cache in how it is written instead of always having to fix it in the calling end on the program side.

it looks for a lower case, and is upper case in the cache, and then I still do not know if this will work because it is looking for a medium and cache does not say medium.

(I hate this specific named font programming without a fall back font, wmsystemtray has a similar issue about a font error)

Code:

userx@manjaroieo:~

$ wmbutton

wmbutton: couldn't allocate font '-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'.

wmbutton: Use option -F <font>



userx@manjaroieo:~

$ fc-list | grep helvetica





userx@manjaroieo:~

$ fc-list | grep Helvetica

/usr/share/fonts/Type1/phvb8a.pfb: Helvetica:style=Bold

/usr/share/fonts/Type1/phvbo8a.pfb: Helvetica:style=Bold Oblique
