Hmmm... it doesn't even try to access the file:

strace on a document with arial and arial bold (with debugging added to tt_font_metric_rep::get as cout << "Want font: " << name << "\n";)

Arial works:

gettimeofday({1342255732, 952468}, NULL) = 0

write(1, "Want font: arial10@600\n", 23) = 23

gettimeofday({1342255732, 952617}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1342255732, 952701}, NULL) = 0

stat64("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=275572, ...}) = 0

gettimeofday({1342255732, 952870}, NULL) = 0

open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 14

fcntl64(14, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)        = 0

Arial Bold does not even try:

gettimeofday({1342255917, 384917}, NULL) = 0

write(1, "Want font: arialbd10@600\n", 25) = 25

gettimeofday({1342255917, 385039}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1342255917, 385072}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1342255917, 385101}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1342255917, 385127}, NULL) = 0

write(1, "TeXmacs] Font arialbd 10pt at 600 dpi could not be loaded\n", 58) = 58

But in fact all I had to do was delete file /home/sam/.TeXmacs/system/cache/font_cache.scm which had cached that Arial bold was not available before I had installed arial on my new system.

Maybe once per invocation, the font cache should be regenerated if a font is not found.

On a fresh Mint-13 installation I find that Arial bold can no longer be displayed in texmacs, although italic can.

This text shows only 2 X's

<with|font|ms-arial|X<with|font-series|bold|X>X>

The console emits: Font arialbd 9pt at 600 dpi could not be loaded

These files exist:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf -> Arial.ttf

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ariali.ttf -> Arial_Italic.ttf

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arialbi.ttf -> Arial_Bold_Italic.ttf

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arialbd.ttf -> Arial_Bold.ttf

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Bold.ttf

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Black.ttf

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Bold_Italic.ttf

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Italic.ttf

Libre office is able to display arial bold

The file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Bold.ttf views fine in mate-font-viewer.

Anyone know where I can get information on WHY the font could not be loaded.

Also, why it did not fall back to the current font as texmacs does when no mappings exist to be used. The text should not disappear.
