Guest SDMF Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I copied the TrueType fonts from my windows partition, used ttfmkfdir > fonts.dir to create a fonts.dir file, and added the directory to the search path in /etc/X11/fs/config. After restarting XFS, the fonts show up in everything but my GTK2 apps. They don't show up when I run gnome-font-properties to change font preferences. I had this working before when I was running 9.0, but after getting thoroughly disgusted with 9.1 and switching back, and using the same exact procedure, I can't get it to work. Is there something I'm leaving out? A setting I need to enable in gconf-editor, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I am not sure, but why don't you just download texstar's ms-fonts rpms and see what it does. I usually do that anyway since I am too lazy to import it from my windows parititon (and my server doesn't have windows period). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I have a question: It seems Texstar's collection of M$ truetype fonts are larger than the collection already in the Corefonts project. Are the extra fonts in Texstar RPMs all freely and legally distributable just as the corefonts project? I don't use Windows at all so I don't want to break the license.

Guest SDMF Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Just in case anyone was interested, I finally figured it out, after giving up on it for a while. Turns out there was an entry missing in my /etc/X11/XftConfig file for the directory containing those fonts. I just added one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
