Hi, everybody! I'm looking for a resouce that has large libraries of Type1 fonts. My word processor (AbiWord) does not support TTF, so TTF info helps me not. I've installed all of the T1's from the SuSE CD's, but I want something fancier :). -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x110 _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Metalab (and mirrors) should have to tarballs freefonts and sharefonts (below /X11/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gz) ftp.gimp.org also has some fonts below /pub/gimp/fonts.

well you could convert ttf's into type1 for instance. I recently bought a CD called "11.111 Fonts" for fun, I counted the TTF's on it some 8300. There were type1 fonts as well.

I ran across a GPL fontviewer, gfontview. See http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Foothills/1458/ The rpm didn't work for me (maybe due to the different names SuSE and RedHat use for gtk.) I was able to compile the source, though. It wouldn't compile using the gif library, but there's a ./configure option to use ungif instead, and that did work. It's an alpha, but so far it's worked for me to view fonts in linux. On Wed, 19 Jan 2000, Juergen Braukmann wrote:

Yeh I had to use the ungif option to for configure, since thats what 6.3 ships with. However I had a problem with executing fontview claiming that it could not find libt1.so. I installed libt1 (it doesnt ship with SuSE does it?) but did so under /usr/local. I think this may be the problem. Does anyone know a way around this? I tried creating links to /usr/lib from /usr/local/lib but this didnt work. maybe there is something else wrong.. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
Odd. I've GOT to start keeping better notes on this stuff. As best I can recall, I had to install some stuff mentioned on the webset. Once configure and make gave no errors, though, everything worked. On Wed, 19 Jan 2000, A Nourai wrote:

Well.... after reading the font howto, I learned that this is *no* option. Windows uses different font metric files, I guess it won't work.
