I''ve edited the FcFileScan description to include: Whether fonts are found depends on fontconfig policy as well as the current configuration. Internally, fontconfig will ignore BDF and PCF fonts which are not in Unicode (or the effectively equivalent ISO Latin-1) encoding as those are not usable by Unicode-based applications. The configuration can ignore fonts based on filename or contents of the font file itself. So, your ISO 8859-10 pcf.gz font is not included in the fontconfig database as it is not Unicode encoded. -- keith.packard at intel.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
