Probably the fontforge directory doesn't matter (just guessing),
but maybe the fonts.conf file in the cn.user is screwing something up?
You could try renaming it, then logging back in and see if the fonts
get better.
That was it! Fixed! Thank-you, Tom.
I've tagged this thread "SOLVED", but there is a follow-up question...
(background)
In the testing for this thread, I mostly fully signed off one account
and fully logged in to the other rather than using "su". For renaming
and "ls" kinds of things, I did use "su". But for viewing,
screen-capturing, and the localectl and locale commands, I wasn't sure,
so I did the full logout and login.
(the question)
For what is "su" good enough, and for what is the full logout and login
needed? A full detailed list is impractical, but could someone provide
some good guiding principles?
thanks,
Bill.
