I'm trying to install the liberation fonts in F33.
I've run fc-cache after install, but xfontsel does
not see the new font.
I have tried different things, all of which either
do not work or give unexpected results.
I've copied the liberation fonts to ~/.fonts, run
mkfontdir and mkfontscale in the directory, and run
"xset +fp ~/.fonts". I can verify that the font path
has been updated by running "xset -q fp". When I
run fc-cache again, it says that it added the font (or
that the cache already contained the font), but xfontsel
does not show it. Oddly, after running fc-cache, the
fontpath shown by "xset -q fp" is reset and no longer has
the entry for ~/.fonts.
(Same more or less if I add /usr/share/fonts/liberation*.)
I've tried to reset the default font path by adding
an entry under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with a Files section
and added FontPath, but that seems to be ignored in xset.
There are links under /etc/X11/fontpath.d to the liberation
font directories.
I'm running Fedora 33 with KDE. Any suggestions?
