Cute little MS font fetch script :)
In order to get TT fonts with the script LenZ was talking about .. you should execute fetchmsttfonts .. it's in /usr/X11R6/bin. Once you do this..just run SuSEconfig and your all set. You should restart X as well. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org "Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom" --General Patton

I thought I'd give this a try... Arrggg!! Now I have Microsoft TrueType fonts and nothing else. KDE looks the pits and XTerm ?@!!??. Any ideas how I recover the original fonts? You've been warned! M

I thought the same thing when I first saw it.... But I played with it for awhile and now it looks better than without it.. Give it a try... I'm using Courier Bold 13pt for console windows. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Problem is, I don't have Courier. I have the following 10 fonts: Andale Mono Arial Arial Black Comic Sans MS Courier New Georgia Impact Tiems New Roman Treuchet MS Verdana Webdings Is that what's you have? M

I lied.... I'm using Courier New. You have the same fonts I do.

I have many many more. In the general font dialog (kde control center), and also in the Konsole font dialog (Settings->Font->Custom) which shows only the fixed width fonts.

I have the following 10 fonts:
You shouild have ALL fonts after running the scripts, i.e. the prev. ones PLUS the TT fonts.

If he has switched on anti aliasing in KDE, he'll only see the TT fonts. BTW, this is a limitation of the Qt library, not of KDE. Philipp -- Linux only became possible because 20 years of OS research was carefully studied, analyzed, discussed and thrown away. Ingo Molnar on linux-kernel

I followed all the instructions and run SuSEconfig. Only 11 fonts were installed. I've just repeated the exercise and get the same result. None of the original fonts are available and there's only one fixed-width font now. I've played around with the settings in the Control Centre and Konsole; looks ok now but clearly things haven't gone as planned. Also, TT fonts aren't available to StarOffice. Any clues? M
If you go in to KDE's control center -> look and feel -> fonts and uncheck the 'use anti-aliasing' box, apply and restart kde, the old fonts will return. I'm guessing it's a bug in kde's aa handling. Anders On Thursday 09 August 2001 23:19, Martin Webster wrote:

That did the trick! Thanks Ander's. BTW, go into KDE's control center -> look and feel -> Style to uncheck the box (KDE 2.1.2). M

Actually, I'm in the same shape. I went for truetype, and now that's /all/ I've got. p

Yeah, if you check "AntiAlias" in the control center, it will only show TT fonts, because those are the only fonts that can be AA'd. Have a great weekend! -Steven -- "People who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable." - JFK
