Description
Need Real Name
2004-05-05 09:14:05 UTC
This can't actually be fixed, sorry. They aren't "real" versions of Times and Helvetica, and can't be named as such. For example, Helvetica is a trademark of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG and exclusively licensed through Linotype GmbH. Nimbus Sans strongly resembles it, and it based on it, but cannot share the same name. Xft's aliasing means that it works pretty closely, though. Xft will match requests for Times and Helvetica with the near matches, "Nimbus Roman No9 L" and "Nimbus Sans." Comment #1 states "Xft will match requests for Times and Helvetica with the near matches, "Nimbus Roman No9 L" and "Nimbus Sans." but this doesn't seem to be true. The command > xload -fn '-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--21-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-*' yields the message: Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--21-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-*" to type FontStruct This behavior is observed under Fedora 7 with urw-fonts-2.3-6.1.1. (In reply to comment #2) > The command > > xload -fn '-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--21-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-*' > yields the message: > Warning: Cannot convert string > "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--21-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-*" to type FontStruct That is not using Xft, but X core fonts. You can use xlsfonts to list the core fonts available. *** Bug 245961 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
