[solved]terminus font without xorg.conf

Hi

I start X without a xorg.conf as every conf I tried did not work. Without the conf X works perfectly.
But I now want the terminus font for my WM and pacman installed them in /usr/share/fonts/local
This directory is not recognized by X by default.
Additional font directories are usually specified in the xorg.conf, but I don't have one.

I can manually set the font path with:

mkfontdir
xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/local
xset fp rehash

I now see the font in xfontsel.

But when I restart X, it's gone..

Is there a way to fix this?

I was hoping for a more elegant solution, but I guess it's elegant enough smile

Re: [solved]terminus font without xorg.conf

I recall that terminus works out of the box in Gnome, I am also running X without xorg.conf. Is that different in lightweight WMs?
