Well, let me clarify. This the font directory list in the rc4 fonts.conf file in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig/ (/usr/X11/etc/... doesn't exist in rc4): <!-- Font directory list --> <dir>/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> The X11R6 directory has been there for quite a while, but in reality only means the fonts potentially are scanned twice. I had assumed this was intentional and what you were expecting people to find in the file. Merle On Jan 3, 2009, at 2:15 PM, Merle Reinhart wrote:
I just looked on my system at work which is 2.3.2_rc4. The file/ directory structure is fine (no /usr/X11/etc/...) and the fonts.conf file in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fongconfig is what you were expecting (dated Dec 17 when I installed rc4).

Are you sure about rc4? I haven't touched fontconfig since the betas. How did that file get nuked? I hope it's not a sign of FS corruption =(
I'm testing the 2.3.2.1 package now.. expect a release in the next hour or so.

The problem file/directory wasn't there in rc4 (I didn't get around to testing with rc5). So at least rc4 was what you expected (/usr/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig).
Thanks for the clarification on which directory is the correct one!

Why oh why is there always something found right after the release =(
That bug has been there since before 2.3.2_rc1 it seems, but nobody noticed it. The file should be /usr/X11/lib/X11/ fontconfig , but for some reason the file that had my fontconfig configure arguments got nuked =(
I'm rebuilding fontconfig now with the correct /usr/X11/lib/X11/ fontconfig directory usage and will release a 2.3.2.1 with the fixed fontconfig.

On top of that, /usr/X11/etc/fonts/fonts.conf doesn't look right as it contains a non-existent directory and only points at /usr/ X11R6 (which works for now due to the symlink).
Agreed this constant changing around of where the various configuration files reside is a real pain.

Another change (maybe already between rc4 and rc5) seems to be that fonts.conf has migrated to yet another place, namely to / usr/X11/etc/fonts/. This will trip up those programs that have just learned that it migrated from /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/ to / usr/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig/. Some questions:
Why this competition between /usr/X11/etc/fonts/ and /usr/X11/ lib/X11/fontconfig/? Both come with conf.avail and conf.d directories.
Is the directory structure used by fontconfig documented somewhere? man fonts-conf still talks about /etc/fonts.conf, which has disappeared years ago. I haven't found man pages talking about conf.avail/ and conf.d/.
Is this going to settle down?
