I'm using SuSE 7.2, and the fonts aren't the best on it... plus, I haven't been able to install new fonts. Mandrake had a good fonts manager. Does SuSE 8.1 have a fonts manager now, especially one that can install new true type fonts?

Hi, I have found out that the way for adding fonts described in sdb for 7.2 still works in 8.1; Copy the ttf files (from a windoze box e.g.) to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/ , then run # /usr/X11R6/bin/ttmkfdir|sed s/^[0-9]*// > fonts.scale.neu (as root). Then run SuSEconfig and restart the x server. Fonts are there right after that. Cheers ..... Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@gmx.net
