[Nix-dev] fontconfig with vim sumo

[Jeevakan Suresh]

I saw this as well, and fixed it via setting the FONTCONFIG_FILE variable.

It seemed like a bit of a hack? I'm sure there is a better way to do all of this without leaving nix land :)

Subject: [Nix-dev] fontconfig with vim sumo

When I build vim vim-7.2-huge-X11-python-tcl I get the following error on starting gvim:

Fontconfig warning: line 26: empty font directory name ignored No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org

when I set

  export FONTCONFIG_FILE=/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
	
it works, but obviously my Debian fonts get loaded. Using

  ls ~/.nix-profile/etc/fonts/fonts.conf

I see:

  <!-- Font directory list -->

  <dir></dir>
  <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
  <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

The first one is erroneous. But what about the second one? And how does one use fontconfig with the Nix fonts?

Pj.
