[SOLVED] needing to match fonts from a different Linux Distro.

Does anyone know their fonts?

I'm in Manjaro using blender. Slack "stable" does not have video driver to use blenders GPU computations, but I seen that current does, so when I opened my blender file in current the fonts where off, as I've already rendered a good part of this out, I need to find 'Z003 Medium Italic" for Slack.

Run "fc-list" (no arguments) and "fc-match" (needs arguments) in Manjaro. They'll tell you which filename is matched to the "Z003 Medium Italic" font name.

On my Slackware -current:

$ fc-list | grep Z003
/usr/share/fonts/OTF/Z003-MediumItalic.otf: Z003:style=Medium Italic

$ grep Z003 /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/ghostscript-9.23-x86_64-3:usr/share/ghostscript/9.23/Resource/Font/Z003-MediumItalic
/var/log/packages/urw-core35-fonts-otf-20170801_91edd6e_git-noarch-2:usr/share/fonts/OTF/Z003-MediumItalic.otf

I suggest maybe installing these or their equivalents in your version:
ghostscript-9.23-x86_64-3
ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11-noarch-3
urw-core35-fonts-otf-20170801_91edd6e_git-noarch-2

$ fc-match "Z003 Medium Italic"
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"

ha - I did ls /var/packages | grep ...

I'll try that when I'm back in slack, and Investigate a little deeper.
thanks

Try BadReed's suggestion first, but if that doesn't work you can also try the following:

Put the following to ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/10-local.conf and then do "fc-cache -f -v":

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>

  <alias>
    <family>Z003</family>
    <prefer>
      <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family>
    </prefer>
  </alias>

</fontconfig>
