Hi,

the file /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (contained in package fontconfig 2.2.3)
lacks one entry for the TTF fonts. See the difference to the Slackware 11.0
version:

------------- Slackware 11.0 -------------
 <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
 <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF</dir>
 <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
 <dir>~/.fonts</dir>
------------------------------------------

------------ Slackintosh 11.0 ------------
 <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
 <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
 <dir>~/.fonts</dir>
------------------------------------------

So there are no TTF font available for (some) X applications. I just
regognized this because I wanted to select a font of the dejavu package in
firefox. Also Gimp doesn't show any TTF fonts.

Changing fonts.conf to the Slackware 11.0 version and running "fc-cache -f"
fixes the problem.

Ciao
