I've updated Emacs from 23.1 to 23.3 and it suddenly can no longer find my fonts (for example Liberation Mono). When I try to Options->Set Default Font... I'm prompted with a very bizarre choice of things some called using the format of "AxB", where A and B are digits, some have remotely recognizable names (like lucildatypewriter - although I don't have any font installed by that name, neither "Lucilda Typewriter" nor anything remotely similar), the "Lucilda" family has some more "relatives" - for example: "lucildatypewriter-bold-14", but the choice of weight / size is arbitrary. It has one more menu entirely dedicated to Courier font and one small menu, which says "fontsets" and contains two items: "standart 17-dot medium" and "startup 16-dot medium", both, obviously don't name any fonts.
The font it chosen for displaying the code is some serif font, and it looks extremely bad...
When I try to customize the default face M-x customize-face RET default It says that it is using times - again, I don't have times installed, the font I have is the "Times New Roman".
I've also tried eval'ing
(set-face-attribute
'default nil
:family "Liberation Mono" :height 100)
but it had no visible effect.
Below is my fonts.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" qual="all">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
<int>0</int>
</edit>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<fontconfig>
(I don't want to use AA for fonts)
fc-list
will print the fonts I'd like to use and was using in the previous version of Emacs. I'm using Ubuntu / GTK if that matters.
What would I need to do to explain emacs where my fonts are installed?
Thanks!
