[opensuse] Re: cannot read any text in thunderbird or firefox after installing fonts
More information here - In my system settings on the install fonts subapplet, I just noticed that every windows ttf font that I just installed is blank on the right side of the applet, whereas all kde fonts that came with the system show up just fine.
So I could go through and delete all 179 fonts I just installed one by one, but I would rather be able to use the fonts I installed. Any ideas?
Thanks, George
Well, I needed to get firefox back, so I went ahead and removed all the windows fonts. That solved the problem. I will try again someday to install windows fonts when I have time to investigate how to do it right.

If you only have one user on the system that needs Windows fonts, they don't need to be "installed". Merely copy them to ~/.fonts while logged out, and unless something is horribly broken, they'll be found and used just as if they had been "installed" wherever the fonts that came with openSUSE are located. If there is/are more than one user, others can access them just as easily by creating a symlink from the first ~/.fonts to that of each additional user that needs them. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Wouldn't it be better to have them on a public partition and link each ~/.fonts to that dir? I don't allow other users access to my ~ at all.
