Font-Questions

Hello ML,
some fonts are not filled with an solid color, but have regular gradient patterns instead. (I could send a screenshot to the list, but maybe this problem is already known). These fonts are: Charter, Helvetica, Lucida, New Century Schoolbook etc. whereas other fonts like the BitStream-fonts are displayed correctly.

I also want to use the artwiz fonts in gimp. What do I have to change?

BTW: All fonts are displayed correctly in xfontsel. Which font-interface does gimp use? Xft and/or the xfree one?

These questions might have been already asked, but htdig seems to be misconfigured, so that I can'l search the archives.

TIA Florian Huber

My setup:
gentoo with
linux 2.6.0-test1
gcc 3.3
xfree 4.3.0
xft 2.1.0
gimp 1.3.16
no xfs (font server)

What version of gimp do you use? Unless you specify that, we cannot answer a single one of your questions.

You are most probably not using the very latest PangoFT2. Please try again with GIMP-1.3.17; it now includes the code that used to live in PangoFT2.

GIMP-1.3 doesn't use X11 to render fonts. It uses PangoFT2 which shares it's configuration with the Xft2 backend. Thus fonts are configured via fontconfig. Please read the man-page on fonts.conf that explains how to configure all this.
