[SOLVED] - Firefox can not see fonts after fonts installs

Hi, I'm installing and config my first Arch installation. After install and config all the system now I am working in the look and feel of my system.

I recently installed a fonts. Copy a backup of diferent fonts in /usr/share/fonts. The fonts are:

[elrengo@xpsl421x .fonts]$ ls -l
total 272
drwx------ 1 elrengo users   4096 Sep  8  2010 AnonymousPro-1.002.001
drwx------ 1 elrengo users   4096 Sep  8  2010 AnonymousProMinus-1.002.001
drwx------ 1 elrengo users   4096 Feb 27  2011 dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.33
drwx------ 1 elrengo users   4096 Jun 10  2013 DroidFamily
drwx------ 1 elrengo users 135168 Jun  4  2012 googlefontdirectory
-rw------- 1 elrengo users  58464 Jun 10  2013 Inconsolata.otf
drwx------ 1 elrengo users  65536 Oct  3  2013 Windows7Fonts
[elrengo@xpsl421x .fonts]$ 

After that Firefox can not show all fonts. I try change the fonts, search fontconfig files in $HOME, reinstalling fontconfig, uninstall and re-install firefox with restore defaults but I do not see. I can not write too.

Thanks in advance!

Did you update your font cache?

sudo fc-cache -f -v

Re: [SOLVED] - Firefox can not see fonts after fonts installs

Do you have this:

<dir>~/.fonts</dir>

In your config? E.g. in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf

Re: [SOLVED] - Firefox can not see fonts after fonts installs

<!-- Font directory list -->

        <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
        <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
        <dir prefix="xdg">fonts</dir>
        <!-- the following element will be removed in the future -->
        <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

<!--

I was installed all fonts in "/usr/share/fonts" because I have a hibrid disk (ssd + hhd) /home is mounted in hdd and / it's in ssd.

I ran again the "sudo fc-cache -f -v" but I nothing changes.

Re: [SOLVED] - Firefox can not see fonts after fonts installs

Check that your font files (and subdirectories) in /usr/share/fonts/ are world-readable.

Re: [SOLVED] - Firefox can not see fonts after fonts installs

Become root, *then* run the commands I gave.

Your attempts at "sudo" don't work, because of the pipe.
