With SuSE 9.3 I loaded additional fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and ran SuSEconfig -module fonts. I "think" that is the folder you have to use. Worked perfect for me. Cheers,
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.
I quote from the 9.3 Admin Guide - Section 11.3 Installing and Configuring Fonts : "The font files can be copied manually (as root) to a suitable directory, such as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype. Alternatively, the task can be performed with the KDE font installer in the KDE Control Center. The result is the same."
