Where should fonts.confirm be and how can I make sure fontconfig is installed.
Not meaning this personally, but are you *sure* you're experienced enough to roll your own distro? I used to do that kind of work myself, and two things you really need to know are (1) what every package on the system does, at least in very general terms; and (2) how to work with the base system's tools (package management, etc.) I believe fonts.conf is in /etc/fonts.d/ or /etc/fontconfig/ or some similar location; you should be able to find it using find /etc -name fonts.conf As far as checking if fontconfig is installed, see if you have /usr/bin/fc-cache or /usr/lib/libfontconfig* on your system. The easiest way to check for a package in general is to use your system's package management tools, but unfortunately I'm not that familiar with dkpg -- I've always used Slackware-based systems myself. ~Benjamin
