Re: Fonts with Icewm

[Adam P. <co...@ah...>]

You probably mean this FAQ
http://www.icewm.org/FAQ/IceWM-FAQ-12.html#ss12.8

IceWM compiles by default with xfreetype enabled. (Note that you can not 
have --enable-corefonts and --enable-xfreetype (this is by default) 
together - so if you --enable-corefonts you have to --disable-xfreeype).

If you only ./configure 
and make then it should use xfreetype font definition
ActiveButtonFontNameXft = "Snap:size=10,sans-serif:size=12:bold"

Ceck if your theme has font definitions suitable for xfreetype and that 
fonts are reachable by xfreetype (fc-list, fc-cache).

If you can not compile icewm pre10 with some kind of option then try pre12 
otherwise report a bug (provide options and configure/make log).
