i mean, the dir you have

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts:
libfreetype.so
i want too have this..and dont find the exact package for this..

greets

bernarcher · 2009-03-12 02:37:28

Best install the pkgfile tool. It provides some answers as to which package does contain some file.
I got these answers

bp:~$ pkgfile libfreetype.so
community/lib32-freetype2
extra/freetype2
extra/xorg-server

And these packages are installed:

bp:~$ yaourt -Q lib32-freetype2 freetype2 xorg-server
==> List all installed packages
community/lib32-freetype2 2.3.8-1
extra/freetype2 2.3.8-1
extra/xorg-server 1.5.3-4

Hi, thx for your patience, but..
yaourt -Q lib32-freetype2 freetype2 xorg-server
==> List all installed packages
community/lib32-freetype2 2.3.8-1
extra/freetype2 2.3.8-1
testing/xorg-server 1.6.0-1

i have the same of you know, only mised lib32-freetype...and still dont exist the fonts dir of xorg

weirdo

bernarcher · 2009-03-12 02:48:22

I got this from the xorg-serer package:

bp:~$ yaourt -Ql xorg-server | grep fonts
xorg-server /usr/include/xorg/dixfontstr.h
xorg-server /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/
xorg-server /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so

Perhaps you need to re-install this one. Somehow you might have inadvertently removed the fonts directory.

enito · 2009-03-12 03:08:44

yaourt -Ql xorg-server | grep fonts
xorg-server /usr/include/xorg/dixfontstr.h

i re intstalled xorg-server...and same..im fucked hehe

http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot … -xorg.html

thats it, im using xorg 1.6, i back to 1.5...thx for your time!

bernarcher · 2009-03-12 23:30:35

It appears xorg 1.6 misses libfreetype.so only because it does not require some special suited version any more.
In any case, there should be a libfreetype.so in /usr/lib:

bp:~$ yaourt -Ql freetype2 | grep libfreetype
freetype2 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so
freetype2 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6
freetype2 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.19

Linking there might perhaps help. Although, on second thought, xorg should find the module there as well.

enito · 2009-03-13 01:51:44

right but if xorg 1.6 not need this module, if possible instead of use of freetype type fonts? i mean i can use all types of fonts?

timenewroman font exist in archlinux? or some recomendation of a good font for use with xfce4 and LCD..thx!!!

bernarcher · 2009-03-13 07:29:40

Times New Roman is defined in "times*.ttf" from the "ttf-ms-fonts" package.
Should be in /usr/share/fonts/TTF

I prefer DejaVu or Bitstream Vera fonts, however.
