Hello folks,

Some days ago emerged xorg-x11 (initially did not use truetype and
type1 fonts) and after some hours did realize that fonts were awful to
look especially on a lcd panel. So re-emerged with truetype fonts
turned on and the things looked better...

.... a day after looking at a russian website realized that the cyrillic
fonts on my laptop are all some kind of clean, terminal, unstylable
(i.e. no bold or italic appliable) fonts. What can I do? The last time
when I emerged xorg and xfce4 from scratch everything went pretty well.

Please excuse my ignorance but which files should I edit in order to be
able using aliased, truetyped fonts even with cyrillic layouts?

### /etc/make.conf ###
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
-fprefetch-loop-arrays -fforce-addr -ffast-math"

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-z,now"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.die.unipd.it/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo-sources"

### /etc/portage/packages.use ###
sys-libs/glibc nptl nptlonly

divx4linux dvd opengl real xvid xv win32codecs avi rtc real

www-client/mozilla-firefox java
app-office/openoffice-ximian nptl

i've emerged xfce session and taskbar only with:

root@teia ~ # emerge xorg-x11 xfce-session

PS: I have another problem with openoffice... it just crashes when
opens *any* file - would it be related to nptl flag?

Did you install cryllic fonts that isn't part of xorg-x11 ?



//Aho

Thank you for reply Aho,

all the previous times it was sufficient to use

LANG="en it ru"

in order to make compile all the required parts... after all actually I
have cyrillic fonts - but I cannot handle them (it's like using
constantly fixed fonts even with documents). But maybe you're right:
what should I do in order to merge cyrillic fonts that aren't part of
xorg-x11?

Probem solved

when emerging xorg-x11 only a minimal set of fonts is installed (in a
natural manner). Once other fonts have been merged (corefonts,
freefonts, sharefonts) cyrillic fonts worked either well.
