Subject: [ISSUE] unknown: X11 apps break, have to manually run mkfontdir & mkfontscale
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2022 02:39:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gh-mailinglist-notifications-41a7ca26-5023-4802-975b-f1789d68868e-void-packages-37565@inbox.vuxu.org> (raw)

New issue by Veyrdite on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/37565
Description:
### System
* xuname: Void 5.15.45_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFFFFFFFFFFF
* package: unknown
### Problem
Today I ran xbps-install -Su and everything seemed fine until I restarted Xorg. Then several issues started occurring:
* i3bar displayed the wrong font
* urxvt wouldn't launch (it couldn't find my font)
* xfontsel wouldn't launch ("Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font")
Reinstalling encodings, font-misc-misc, fontconfig and xorg-fonts had no impact on the problem, even after restarting Xorg.
### Fix
As per https://old.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/ubv7nc/getting_badname_named_color_or_font_does_not/ (I am NOT the op, but I had the same issue today)
```
# cd /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc
# mkfontdir
# mkfontscale
(now restart xorg, however you do that on your system)
```
