I have installed fonts into my system and OO and KDE see the new truetype fonts that are installed but GNOME apps like GIMP and Abiword do not see them. Is there any way to get the apps to see the new fonts?
If you're taking about Gnome1 and stable versions of Gimp or Abiword (in fact, anything based on Gtk1), be aware that they can't render anti-aliased truetype fonts. Only Qt2, Qt3 or Gtk2 can do that (unless you patch Gtk1, but I don't recommend it). But you seem not to be able to see them at all, anti-aliased or not. How did you install them?
Hi, The problem is that the TTF fonts are not running in the Xserver. Somehow KDE has a way of installing and using the TTF fonts without them being available in the Xserver. To prove this run 'xfontsel' and I doubt there will be any TTF's shown. Don't ask why , but I spent about a week trying to nut it out about two months ago and posted my little howto here. All commands must be run as root. 1) Change to where the fonts are. cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype 2) Determine if there are any files been created for the scaling of the ttf's. ls -l fonts.s* 3) Remove all these files. rm fonts.s* 4) Create a new font scale file. ttmkfdir | sed s/^[0-9]*// > fonts.scale.myfonts 5) Now run SuSEconfig.fonts /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.fonts 6) Run xset to reread the font paths xset fp rehash You should be able to see the fonts with xfontsel -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
