Where did you put the fonts? I put them in my own subdirectory. I've used
the KDE CC in the past, but things were changing, and what worked one day
failed the next. What really bothers me is that I have Mathematica, which
provides the same fonts with different (newer) names. Mathematica loads the
fonts it needs when it starts. That suggests I could do the same with my
apps. I believe this will work xset fp+ ~/.fonts/wri/4.1/truetype. It may
even be better. That way I only load them when I need them.
