in thread getting a list of all font elements by font family name

Hi, thanks for that command string, but on my Slackware system, even though I have the Symbola font installed and is working, it dosn't show up in the xlsfonts output. Maybe it's because I don't have a font server running?

Oops, I see I need to take the name out of /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fontdir

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

    What I did with the .ttf from that zip:

    $ chdir ~/.fonts
$ mv /tmp/Symbola605.ttf .
$ mkfontscale
$ mkfontdir
$ fc-cache
$ sudo /etc/init.d/xfs restart

    [download]

    And yes, I have my ~/.fonts directory in the font server list (/etc/X11/fs/config).


    Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
