[SOLVED] Font Issues (Wayland = Unsourced $FREETYPE_PROPERTIES)

Hi all,

I recently upgraded my system, and started having some font problems. This comes after having upgraded freetype and needing to uncomment the line in /etc/profile.d/freetype2.sh that allowed me to set the FREETYPE_PROPERTIES variable. The issue I'm having now, it seems, is that my system seems to be ignoring this? I'm not sure exactly what the problem is.

Whenever I type, "echo $FREETYPE_PROPERTIES", I just get a blank line back instead of the variable itself. I tried editing the sudoers file with visudo and adding 'Defaults env_keep += "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES"', but this also doesn't seem to be working.

Any ideas?

Gnome on Wayland, by any chance? It doesn't source /etc/profile.

Wayland is now the default on Gnome 3.22, so unless you're specifically selecting it on X, you're on Wayland.

That might be the problem then. How do I fix this issue?

Bitch and complain to the Gnome devs for breaking things.

There's no workaround? As in putting the export statement in another file? Or something?

There's another thread about it around here, maybe they found a workaround; I don't really know.

Okay, so the workaround mentioned in this post fixed my problem:

After update, my .Xresources was not loaded on startup.

Also using Gnome and GDM.

Uncommented the WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf and then the resources was loaded.

Dont know what is going on with Wayland.

Thanks for your recommendation.
