OK, back again from my adventure trip in Leap......
Bad idea unless you're sure of what you're doing. Simply copying you shouldn't mix them with installed fonts. Best to put them in any of
/usr/local/share/fonts/ ~/.fonts/ ~/.config/fonts/
Which is what I was doing -- copying them into /usr/share/fonts
and went to use my decades old favourite 'mc' to do the work. Within 5 seconds or so 'mc' aborted and I got a message on the screen stating that plasma5 pooped itself. After fooling around for several minutes, which included rebooting the system into Leap, I managed to get the konsole back on the screen but with the following result when I tried to run 'mc': http://susepaste.org/12506505 Now this is the very small area on a 27inch monitor so you have to view this image in perspective. Wunderbar! Not. And I don't know how to revert back to the original size (without having to re-install the whole sheebang). You can revert every KDE user setting to default by logging out of GUI, opening MC on a vtty, and deleting ~/.config/k* and ~/.kde* before logging back in.
Deleting what you suggest above has done nothing to solve the problem :-( .SNAFU.
What happens when you run MC from an IceWM session instead of Plasma?
Haven't tried to do this. I am confirmed KDE user and installing IceWM probably would mean installing more packages, right?
I have no idea what went on to cause it, but you camoflaged the result by shrinking the image to 161px wide and leaving out your taskbar/panel for context.
Well, I didn't shrink the image but simply captured a small portion of the screen :-) . But to keep you in good spirits here is the full version of same in full technicolor Cinemaskoppe glory :-) : http://susepaste.org/87792924
Run MC from Konsole
Umm....I *always* run mc from Konsole.....
instead of menu and you should be good, or at least, better. Or, was Konsole only a teensy tiny fraction of the screen with microscopic fonts too?
What resolution is your 27" screen?
2560x1440.
There are always vttys to run mc on too, using fullscreen.
Just on this suggestion: trying to use ALT-F2 to run mc simply results in nothing happening. And trying to use Terminal - Super User Mode also results in nothing happening.
