Not sure...but I think it is better to use type1 fonts than bitmap fonts. |

It is determined by fontconfig and the libXft (man Xft) library. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Generally modern applications should not specify a font in the |
| 15 |
"*-lucida-medium-..." form, but rather something more natural like |
| 16 |
"Lucida-10". This will go through the Xft library to locate the font. |
| 17 |
FEX: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
carcharias # fc-match "Lucida-10" |
| 20 |
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Obviously not found...hmm more on that later... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
carcharias # fc-match "LucidaTerminal-10" |
| 25 |
lucidaterminal-10-m-r.pcf.gz: "LucidaTerminal" "Regular" |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
...better. Ok this was found on my system, and an "equery belongs |
| 28 |
lucidaterminal-10-m-r.pcf.gz" shows it came from lfpfonts. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
So it looks like I was wrong about lfpfonts having Lucida. That will |
| 31 |
give you a truetype LucidaTerminal, but I also found the "Lucida" font |
| 32 |
if you really want that. You'll need to merge font-bh-100dpi and |
| 33 |
font-bh-75dpi. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Also, fc-list will give you a list of the fonts that fontconfig knows about. |
