Hi,
I'm using XFree86 4.2.1 on debian 2.4.20.

I put these into /etc/X11/XftConfig, but it didn't work:

match any family == "sans"      edit family += "FreeSans";
match any family == "Sans"      edit family += "FreeSans";
match any family == "Sans 10"   edit family += "FreeSans";

Is there any utility to list the aliases of fonts?


This is the whole thing:

# Debian XftConfig for ttf-freefont, msttcorefonts or gsfonts-x11

# catch fixed X font queries
match any family == "fixed"             edit family =+ "mono";
# catch terminal font queries
match any family == "console"           edit family =+ "mono";
# Gtk+ likes to ask for "Monospace"
match any family == "monospace"         edit family =+ "mono";


# FreeFont TrueType setup (ttf-freefont)
dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont"
# FreeMono*.ttf FreeSans*.ttf FreeSerif*.ttf
match any family == "sans"      edit family += "FreeSans";
match any family == "Sans"      edit family += "FreeSans";
match any family == "Sans 10"   edit family += "FreeSans";
match any family == "serif"     edit family += "FreeSerif";
match any family == "mono"      edit family += "FreeMono";


# MS TrueType fonts (msttcorefonts)
dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
# Sans:  Arial*.ttf Verdana*.ttf Trebuchet_MS*.ttf Comic_Sans_MS*.ttf Arial_Black.ttf
# Serif: Georgia*.ttf Times_New_Roman*.ttf
# Mono:  Courier_New*.ttf Andale_Mono.ttf
# Other: Impact.ttf Webdings.ttf
match any family == "sans"      edit family += "Arial";
#match any family == "sans"     edit family =+ "Verdana";
#match any family == "sans"     edit family =+ "Trebu

#
# Check users config file
#
includeif       "~/.xftconfig"

#
# Alias between XLFD families and font file family name, prefer local
# fonts
#
match any family == "charter"           edit family += "bitstream charter";
match any family == "bitstream charter" edit family =+ "charter";
