I''ve finally got access to all the fonts on my system (after reverting
to fontconfig 2.3.2), and all seems well. But I notice the following
warning in my /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
(WW) "fonts.dir" not found (or not valid) in
"/usr/local/share/fonts".
Entry deleted from font path.
(Run ''mkfontdir'' on "/usr/local/share/fonts").
My naive question is: does fontconfig replace mkfontdir?
If not, is there any danger of conflict between them? If I run
mkfontdir on one of my top-level font directories, as the warning
suggests, could I upset the splendid operation of fontconfig?
When I add a font to my system, should I run both mkfontdir and fc-cache?
TIA,
Jim
