Specifically, -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-130-75-75-C-70-ISO8859-1, |
| 2 |
is loaded from that file. Here's what lead me to ask... |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
- I installed xfreecell on a fresh system |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
- I couldn't get it to start, it complained about not being able to open |
| 7 |
a font, but didn't specify which one (thanks !NOT) |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
- I did some spelunking in the xfreecell tarball in distfiles. Right |
| 10 |
near the top of the README file is a statement that says... |
| 11 |
"Make sure there is a font named 7x14." |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
- "xlsfonts | grep 7x14" didn't find anything |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
- in Google, I found other occurences of the same error message as I got |
| 16 |
and then asking how to get the "7x14" font |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- there were several people reporting that font-misc-misc did the trick |
| 19 |
for them. But it didn't work for me. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
- file /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias showed that "7x14" was an alias |
| 22 |
for -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-130-75-75-C-70-ISO8859-1 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
- The font-misc-misc ebuild appears to install 7x14.pcf.gz, which |
| 25 |
contains Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-130-75-75-C-70-ISO10646-1, a |
| 26 |
unicode font |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
- Out of sheer desperation, I dug through *.pcf.gz files on another |
| 29 |
machine, and copied over 7x14-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz, which finally got |
| 30 |
xfreecell working. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'd still like to know which ebuild I should've used, rather than |
| 33 |
copying over a binary file. |
