I'm running SuSE 10.0. I have a TrueType font file that I would like to install. [...] I thought there was a routine in YaST that would do what I want but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone point me to a practical and safe way to install a single TrueType font?
Put the font into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype to install globally, or into ~/.fonts to install per user. Then run SuSEconfig, or, even faster, SuSEconfig -module fonts as root. This has been functioning since 8.2. A Type1 font, consisting of a .afm file and a .pfa or .pfb file, can be installed in a similar way, putting both files into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 or ~/.fonts.
