After a fair bit of reading and experimenting, I am stumped... mostly because I don't know what the error message I am getting really means. I've added some TTF fonts I need for a project I am working on. They work fine in all applications except The GIMP... which is where I need them. I did some reading, and the instuctions seem simple... put your TTFs in a convenient location (mine are in /usr/share/fonts/truetype) ttmkfdir > fonts.dir in your font directory. xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/truetype xset fp rehash. When I do the xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/truetype part I get an error: ------------------------------------------- X Error of failed request: 86 Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath) Serial number of failed request: 8 Current serial number in output stream: 10 ------------------------------------------- OK, nice, but what does this mean? I know what the fp+ is supposed to do... it's supposed to append the new font path to current font path. I've checked and it is not appended... yet. As I said, I'm stumped here... suggestions?

Would help to provide all the information, wouldn't it? SuSE8.1, and KDE3.1 C.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hmmm..... Upon reflection I am somewhat confused by what you say: ".... they work fine in all apps except The GIMP ...". So this to me implies that the "xset fp+" has worked under some circumstances? Perhaps you can explain further? I think it would also be helpful to post your X11 config file complete with a copy of the X server log. I must admit that I am a Gnome user who recently build Gnome 2.2 complete with AA and TT font support. I have a vague recollection of coming across some documentation which said you need to rebuild The Gimp if you wanted AA and TT support. Furthermore I thought KDE3 had AA and TT support built in? But your error is from xset!? Hope these ramblings are of some help. Kind regards, Simon - -- Simon JF Heaton <simon.heaton@softwareag.co.uk> Principal Technical Consultant Software AG UK Ltd.
