<br>
So, I just bought a brand new WeTab, a device based on MeeGo. I bought it in Germany, and now I'm trying to get it to speak Hebrew. My first step is to install the culmus fonts so I can st least see Hebrew sites, but whatever I do, I can't get them recognized.<br>
<br>
What I did:<br>
I untarred the latest package (0.120) into /usr/share/X11/fonts/ and symlinked to it in /etx/X11/fontpath.d/ (the place indicated by `xset q`). I made sure that it has all permissions and ownerships like the other font dirs.<br>
<br>
Restarting the device, the font was not recognized. I tried using fc-cache on the directory, adding it with xset +fp ...; xset rehash, but the fonts don't show up neither in fc-list nor in xlsfonts. I also tried running mkfontsdir, which produced a fonts.dir file containing the string '0' and nothing more.<br>
<br>
How can I debug this? Is there any way I can have a verbose output of what directories are searched and why they are dropped? There's nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Or does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
Yosef.<br>
<br>
PS - I'm doing all those experiments in a virtualbox image of the WeTab, I want to get it right before I abuse my actual hardware :)<br>
