I try to install approx. 600 fonts using system-settings->fonts. I can choose them, it goes thru "checking them", alerts for existing fonts (I choose skip automatically), asks for the root password with the first found new font and then crashes.
Exactly how are you trying to "install"? From which DE? Is this KDE's system settings?
Yes. Font Magement ("Schriftartenverwaltung"). Add new fonts.
Are the fonts rpms?
No.
TTF/OTF files all in the same location?
ttf, pfb, zip, otf, pcf.gz
It is entirely possible that one font is corrupt and that is causing the tool to crash. Did you try adding each font one at a time to see if there is one you add that causes the crash,
I am not sure what the KDE font manager is suing under the hood, but I tend to think that if a font is corrupt, it may cause the underlying tools to crash. I saw this quite a bit when (once upon a time) I worked on the FreeType project,
This is a possibility. But with more than 600 fonts this is not a real option as I have some other plans for the next 3 years :-) Anyway: something with single font install does also not work correct, as I described in my first post: a message appears "actualizing fonts" and this message stays for ever, the "cancel" bottom does not react and the message window cannot be closed. I had to log-out from the kde-session to get the screen free again... (Even if it is caused by a corrupt fonts file: proper coding should be able to deal with something like that - message: "corruptet file xy, cannot install this font" would be what I await....) -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com room in Barcelona: https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/2416137 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
