[SOLVED] What happened to Misc Fixed font?

Hello,

I did pacman -Syu and now cannot use Misc Fixed font in some applications anymore in which I used it previously. E.g. it has ceased to appear in the list of available fonts in XFCE Terminal and LibreOffice, but continues to be visible in FireFox.

$ pacman -Q xorg-fonts-misc
xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.3-6

Can this problem be fixed?

I assume you're simply late to the show and this is https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=248032 ?

Re: [SOLVED] What happened to Misc Fixed font?

seth,

thanks! (I have searched the forum for the Fixed font, but this specific font is not mentioned in that thread, so I missed it.)

Will try to convert the font to OTB format with FontForge.

UPDATE:

Solved by installing xorg-fonts-misc-otb package
