I can’t change fonts

[FVWM][FlocaleLoadFont]: WARNING -- can't load font 'Shadow=0 1 SE:xft:sans:style=Bold:pixelsize=11', trying default:
        -*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

what is writen in my config:

Style * Font "Shadow=0 1 SE:xft:sans:style=Bold:pixelsize=11"

I tried many diffrent fonts. Nothing helps.

I’m runing Gentoo x86_64.

Thanks for any help.

What’s the output from the command:

fvwm --version

If you find it is missing “XFT” in the list of compiled option, you’ll need to relink libxft against FVWM.
