Dear All, How can i add TTF ? I tried KDE Control Center, but it doesn't work for any X clients. Is there any other way to add them? The easy one would be great because i'm confuse to read the "Administration Guide". Thanks, Adinda

(1) Put the fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype (2) Run: fonts-config -f Charles -- "...Unix, MS-DOS, and Windows NT (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)." (By Matt Welsh)

But this only works with SuSE Linux 8.2 and up. For older versions, it's a bit more tricky. Philipp

It seems to work fine for me running SuSE 8.1.

For SuSE Linux 8.1 you can use http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/misc/SuSEconfig.fonts/SuSEconfig.fonts http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/misc/SuSEconfig.fonts/fonts-config http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/misc/SuSEconfig.fonts/fonts-config.1.gz copy the above 3 files to /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.fonts /usr/sbin/fonts-config /usr/share/man/man1/fonts-config.1.gz and call /usr/sbin/fonts-config --force as root. These scripts may work for SuSE Linux < 8.1 but I didn't test that. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

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, Adinda Praditya

Add the new directory to /etc/X11/XF86config, i.e. Section "Files" [...] FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local" [...] EndSection Then run SuSEconfig.
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?
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". -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
