Subject: OSFONTDIR kills gui fonts.
Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:08:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130726150839.5988e629@wexfordpress> (raw)
I am tryihg to follow the wiki on "Fonts in Luatex." It suggests the
following statement for Linux systems:
export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts"
But I store my fonts in /usr/share/fonts so I used:
export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts"
The net effect of this statement was to wipe out all my text fonts used
with XFCE4 or KDE, at least when I use my regular user signon. I
examined my /etc/profile, $HOME/.profile, @HOME/.bashrc files and
deleted or commented out all references to OSFONTDIR. I still have no
gui fonts.
If anyone has any suggestions on how I can revive my gui fonts that
would be welcome. Only my regular user signon is affected, But I
really want to know what kind of OSFONTDIR statement I can use that
won't wipe out my gui fonts.
I can of course move the pertinent fonts to the fonts directories in
my /usr/local/texlive etc. file structure. But I am looking for a more
general solution.
Slackware 14 64 bit and texlive 2013
As always, thanks in advance to those who reply:
