I''ve encountered a truly perplexing font problem here that I can neither understand nor fix. Requesting help on various other mailing lists soliciting help with the problemĀ hasn''t brought an answer to date. One hopes that my lack of experience with trouble at this level will be indulged. Here are the facts: I recently installed Arch Linux, running it together with xorg, fluxbox, firefox and the mail client, balsa. Configuring firefox''s menu and toolbar fonts requires the creation of a special file, userChrome.css, which I so wrote as to provide for lucida regular. Firefox''s standard text fonts selectory offers an option for the same font in various sizes. Balsa''s tool bars and menus, however, used something else default and their text font selectory lacked lucida regular. Turning to gtk-chtheme to change the balsa tool bar and menu fonts, I was offered only lucida sans, not lucida regular, so getting the same appearance in both apps was impossible. To make sure I wasn''t imagining things, I built balsa on a Gentoo partition I have on the same computer. I had no trouble duplicating the lucida regular fonts in balsa in this case. They show clearly as an option in the gtk-chtheme selectory. I''m baffled. Why would it be that I can''t get the same result in both situations? Why is it that only lucida sans is available in Arch whereas in Gentoo, lucida regular is available. Lucida regular is a commonly used font and I can imagine additionally that it would be available to some apps in Arch and not others.
