1. Problems using fonts.alias to replace Type1 fonts with Truetype
Hello, I've been having some problems using fonts.alias to replace fonts.
My current goal is to rid myself of as many Type1 fonts as possible, using
similar TrueType fonts instead. I'm using XFree86 4.0.2, and the beginning
of my XF86Config file looks like this:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection
The fonts.alias file in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 includes the following
lines (linebreaks added for readability):
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 \
-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 \
-monotype-arial-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 \
-monotype-arial-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 \
-monotype-arial-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 \

-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-narrow--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 \
-monotype-arial-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-bold-o-narrow--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 \
-monotype-arial-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
When I use gfontsel to make sure that this is working, I find that Arial is
being used for most, but not all, sizes of Helvetica. Helvetica is still
used for 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24 point fonts. For example, a request for
the font:
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
returns:
-Adobe-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-P-67-ISO8859-1
rather than:
-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--12-116-75-75-p-53-iso8859-1
I'm also having the same problem with the Times font -- at certain sizes,
Times is still being used instead of Times New Roman. Thanks in advance to
anyone who can give me any assistance,
