Hey Jim, thanks for the "Cleanup".
I was kinda in a rush when I posted my question...


If "Sans" is showing in the FontSelectionDialog as the default selected font, how come I can't seem to find it?

I've checked this location, including all subdirs:
Code:
> ls -l /usr/share/fonts
total 232
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 90112 May 11  2011 100dpi
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 94208 May 11  2011 75dpi
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 11  2011 cyrillic
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  4096 May 11  2011 encodings
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 May 11  2011 misc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 11  2011 Speedo
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Jul 24 15:55 truetype
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 11  2011 Type1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    20 Oct  4  2012 URW -> ../ghostscript/fonts
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 11  2011 util

There are plenty of fonts with 'Sans' in their title but nothing that's called just "Sans"... Any ideas?


EDIT:
Ok, so I just found this in my Gtk2 documentation:
Code:
The "font-name" property

   "font-name"                gchar*                : Read / Write The string that represents this font.
 Default value: "Sans 10"

As you can see it says the Default value is "Sans 10" but I can't find that anywhere....?

Thanks,
Matt

systemd-volatile-root.service

SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8)			   systemd-volatile-root.service			  SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-volatile-root.service, systemd-volatile-root - Make the root file system volatile

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-volatile-root.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-volatile-root

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-volatile-root.service is a service that replaces the root directory with a volatile memory file system ("tmpfs"), mounting the
       original (non-volatile) /usr inside it read-only. This way, vendor data from /usr is available as usual, but all configuration data in
       /etc, all state data in /var and all other resources stored directly under the root directory are reset on boot and lost at shutdown,
       enabling fully stateless systems.

       This service is only enabled if full volatile mode is selected, for example by specifying "systemd.volatile=yes" on the kernel command
       line. This service runs only in the initial RAM disk ("initrd"), before the system transitions to the host's root directory. Note that this
       service is not used if "systemd.volatile=state" is used, as in that mode the root directory is non-volatile.
