I should probably install vera's local.conf to local.conf-vera or something. I forgot you used local.conf by default ;-). >=20 > ok, if i must write _every_ path into a config-file (right?) then i=20 > will create a extra fontpath.conf that i will include into fonts.conf. > if fonts|local.conf will be replaced, then i can easily include them > again. No! All you need is the root path in fonts.conf (e.g. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts). fontconfig recursively scans that directory for fonts. If you have fonts outside of that tree, then, yes, you will need to add those paths to fonts.conf. >=20 > i'm wondering why fontconfig needs and special config-file for=20 > the paths and didn't take the paths direct from XF86Config. > didn't make a exclude list more sense, because it's mostly empty? >=20 > but the _main_problem_ was that i thought i always did something wrong > and it is not normal to write all paths into fonts|local.conf and > fontconfig finds the fonts recursively from the base directories > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and ~/.fonts. Yes, correct. You do not need to explicitly add paths to fonts.conf or ~/.fonts.conf.
