-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am trying to find out why, when left to its own devices, KDE''s konsole is choosing to display a rather strange font. Its picking up font /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/12x13ja.pcf.gz as the default font. This is part of Debian''s base fonts package, but suffers from being rather ugly. As far as the XLFD is concerned this font should fit what is needed (family, font size etc) EXCEPT for the Additional Style Field having the characters "ja" in them. There are other fonts which fit the bill, which do not have any additional style field, but also look nicer. I am tracking my way through fcmatch.c with a debugger looking at what is happening, and effectively the requested font pattern is being compared with the pattern from every font installed on the system. I have got to the point where the above font is found to be a better match than any other previously found font and I am examining the "pattern" that this font has. I can''t find any reference to the additional style it within the pattern. The closest "elts[].object" name appears to be "style", but there is only 1 value for this and that is "regular". I have also looked at the fonts.cache-1 field for the appropriate directory, and I can find no reference in there to the Additional Style property. Some questions What exactly does "Additional Style" represent? Does/should fontconfig use this parameter in its font matching - if so what elts[].object name should it use. The pcf property name in the file is "ADD_STYLE_NAME". Is this correct? - -- Alan Chandler alan@chandlerfamily.org.uk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+WKI/uFHxcV2FFoIRAunHAJ4zSdWZXfxOF+Fv1QsJs+2VYcDHKQCgsW99 wKLBkSGpepbZyzA/yS6Xewg=uUy+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
