In particular, it forces the 'adstyl' (as listed by xfontsel) to nil rather than *, which severely limits the available fonts. For instance, all of my true type fonts seem to have adstyl of "regular", so when I try to select them, Gnome rejects them because it cannot find the font of the form -ttf-arial-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1, since the actual font is -ttf-arial-medium-r-normal-regular-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1. Now if the standard pattern included a -*- between the width and the pixel size instead of just --, the number of fonts would increase. Or, I need some way to change the -regular- to --. My fonts.dir files do not have a parameter in the place where the -regular- appears in xfontsel, so I am uncertain where it is being introduced. I am running xfstt to serve the true type fonts. Also, I have X running with freetype, type1 and speedo modules loaded. Does anyone have any suggestions?
