It's not a bug in urw-fonts RH7.1 by default doesn't load the type1 module with XFree86-4. See the section from my XF86Config-4 file below: Section "Module" ... # Load "freetype" # TrueType font handler # Load "type1" # Adobe Type 1 font handler EndSection It relies on xfs to render the fonts. This means that type1 fonts can't be added using a xset +fp line (unless the comment is removed in the XF86Config file). This also means that apps which load their own type1 fonts break (eg StarOffice, abiword). Running XFree86 4.1.0-3 to test this problem, in RHL 7.1, and also in RHL 7.2, I am not able to reproduce it, so I presume if there was an actual bug, that it has been long since fixed. I am using a more or less default XFree86 install, and using the xfs font server alone. The X server is not serving fonts - the only thing in the font path is xfs's socket. xfontsel allows me to choose the URW fonts, and displays them in the test area. We've just released XFree86 4.1.0-15 as erratum for RHL 7.1 and 7.2, so I'm closing this bug as fixed in errata. |
