[Fontconfig] How can I make sure I get a specific bitmapped font?
Hi, I recently upgraded a few software packages on my (Debian) machine to newer versions which use fontconfig and related libraries for font selection. Unfortunately, the font that I like to use for everything that does not require incompatible font attributes (ETL fixed) doesn''t seem to be on fontconfig''s radar. I''ve tried using the exact wildcard-free XLFD from the appropriate fonts.dir file, removed /usr/share/fonts/conf.d/30-debconf-no-bitmaps.conf and replaced it with the appropriate yes.bitmaps.conf file; wrote up a hints file to make sure the font was registered with defoma, and tried poking around in /var/lib/defoma (though not finding anything to change, though there seems to be a fontconfig cache there of some sort) all to no avail. When I specify the face -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso8859-1 I keep getting what appears to be a scalable, sans-serif, variable-width font. Can anyone give me any hints what I might be able to do (other than downgrade) to get my preferred font back?
