art-wiz fonts & bitmaps disabled [solved]

what is the reason for art-wiz fonts not being able to change size or style (i.e. bold)? I was able to use bold snap, but now I cannot.

here is my .fonts.conf

Re: art-wiz fonts & bitmaps disabled [solved]

so, apparently, artwiz fonts are bitmaps and bitmaps are disabled. according to the wiki:

Something or someone disabled all my non-scalable (bitmap) fonts, I want them back

By default, fontconfig 2.3.2-4 and higher will disable the use of bitmap fonts. This setting is managed in /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-no-bitmaps.conf, or in higher versions, /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-bitmaps.conf. To enable bitmap fonts and keep them enabled after upgrades of fontconfig, place a symlink from yes-bitmaps.conf to 10-bitmaps.conf, overwriting the symlink to no-bitmaps.conf.

ok. I dont have either of those files (10-no-bitmaps.conf or 10-bitmaps.conf or yes-bitmaps.conf).

this doesnt work:

ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.d/yes-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-bitmap.conf

because I dont have those files in conf.d

Re: art-wiz fonts & bitmaps disabled [solved]

hm... I found something here:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 65#p271765

Take a look into your /etc/fonts/conf.avail/ directory - you can find there 70-yes-bitmaps.conf which you could symlink to 30-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf in  /etc/fonts/conf.d/.

I hope this will help.

Best wishes,
tami
