Hi, today i was asking fontconfig to give me a condensed font and i was
getting Vera all the time, i wondered if i had no condensed font so i fired
xfontsel, selected condensed on sWdth and saw i have only one, Nimbus Sans L
Condensed, but then i remembered fc-list and did
$ fc-list : width
:width=87
:width=100
So fontconfig was not seeing any condensed font (75), may it be becasue i did
not have Nimbus Sans L Condensed correctly configured and fontconfig did not
see it? then i did
$ fc-list : family width | grep "Nimbus Sans"
Nimbus Sans L:width=100
Nimbus Sans L Condensed:width=100
And wop, fontconfig says "Nimbus Sans L Condensed" is not really condensed.
Who is buggy xfontsel or fc-list?
Albert
P.S: I'm using fontconfig version 2.2.96 and xfontsel is from Xorg 6.7.0 i
know they are a bit old so if someone can check that both give the same
result with newer versions i'll be happy
