You can copy them here..

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype

Then run SuSEconfig so it can set them up for system use.

Thanks, It really works!

What about adding some non TTF ? I have some of them and their fonts.dir both in a directory. And then i ran

# cp -r newfont/ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ # fonts-config -f

Is it wrong to copy a directory? If it is, where should i copy them? How can i know (the type) where to put them?

Is there any tips or an easy manual about this?

Thanks,

Add the new directory to /etc/X11/XF86config, i.e.

Section "Files" [...] FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local" [...] EndSection

Then run SuSEconfig.

You can put it anywhere you like. You just have to make sure the directory is in /etc/X11/XF86config (or /etc/X11/fs/config if you are using the font server "xfs").

And, if you want to use the fonts via Xft2/fontconfig as well (for example for Anti-Aliasing in KDE), you have to make sure that your directory is either listed directly in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf or is a subdirectory of one of the directories listed there.

There is a section looking approximately like this near the top of /etc/fonts/fonts.conf:

<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>/opt/kde3/share/fonts</dir> <dir>/opt/OpenOffice.org/share/fonts</dir> <dir>/opt/staroffice6.0/share/fonts</dir> <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

You can also add such directories to ~/.fonts.conf if you want it for one user only, or you can add it to /etc/fonts/local.conf if you want to avoid loosing your additions when updating (an update will overwrite /etc/fonts/fonts.conf).

Is there any tips or an easy manual about this?

A tiny bit of information is in "man fonts-config".
