emerge xawtv installed the fonts, I also did an update of the /etc/X11/fs/config file as described in: Bugzilla Bug 20770 XawTv and tv-fonts, an rc-file needs to be updated. BUT xawtv does not show fonts... instead it says on startup: Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct I use gnome... (dunno if this matters...) ??? Is this a bug or just my fault? Any help or comments are very appreciated... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge xawtv 2.xawtv 3.press f (for fullscreen) and then e.g. d (for displaying time) Actual Results: font stays ugly and little ;-) Expected Results: font should be big and beautiful ;-) Portage 2.0.50-r3 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.5-rc3-mm4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.5-rc3-mm4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -O3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/init.d /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -O3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo http://212.219.247.11/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://212.219.247.12/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib acl acp aim alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bonobo cdr crypt cups dga directfb dvd dvdr encode esd ethereal fam fbcon firebird flac foomaticdb gb gdbm ggi gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hardened icq imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jabber jack java jpeg kde kerberos krb4 ladcca lcms libg++ libwww lirc mad maildir mbox memlimit mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg msn mysql nas ncurses nls odbc oggvorbis opengl oscar oss pam pdflib perl png postgres ppds python qt quicktime readline ruby samba scanner sdl slang speex spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype unicode usb v4l videos wmf x86 xml xml2 xmms xosd xv yahoo zlib"
xawtv fonts are installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/xawtv. Here on my system (xorg-x11) there are only links to /usr/share/fonts in this dir. So i think the fonts will move with the next update of xawtv :) This should fix your problem: Add to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or if you're using xfree: X11.conf) # FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/xawtv/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/xawtv/"
This is due by bug #75271, and fixed in #72141.
Fixed in CVS.
