Anyone have a clue which config file for KDE handle TTF's? I noticed that w/ one of the last couple build of KDE3 that it's not seeing my TTF's. I've got anti-aliasing enabled..but I'm not sure what controls this.

Make sure your path is in /etc/X11/XF86Config . I always put the fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Carl . Assuming there's a fonts.dir, restart X and now it has them. Just gotta tell K about them. I've noticed that that KControl|System|FontInstaller has them all in right pane, but K is not getting them. Is this what you're talking about? Where would something like this be logged? - -- You know it's going to be a bad day when you want to put on the clothes you wore home from the party and there aren't any. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjz9JpEACgkQnQ18+PFcZJvIdwCffkHflQMikbOHdL038+x7cU3s 5IYAn2s41Wu10I3oPS2pYryEMCaZ4E1r =1Z7k -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Well, the truetype directory is there. I deleted the fonts* config files out of the truetype directory and they are still not working. I tried that font installer. It said if I did it as myself..only that account would have access to them. So I logged into KDE3 as root and ran it. It sees them all and can preview them but when it tries to write any kind of config file..KControl craps out and dies. :( I think this is something that was broken in one of the last sets of KDE3 upgrades. :/ Oh well..screw it. In another month I'm going to wipe this box after I back up to CDR..just didn't have time to do it with work. Thanks for the suggestion. *grumble* -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--

Hi Ben, The first thing to check is if your TTF's available via the X server. xfontsel will display them. For some reason KDE displayed the TTF's but they were not beeing see via the Xserver. Do't ask. This is what I used to get them working in the Xserver. All commands must be run as root. 1) Change to where the fonts are. cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype 2) Determine if there are any files been created for the scaling of the ttf's. ls -l fonts.s* 3) Remove all these files. rm fonts.s* 4) Create a new font scale file. ttmkfdir | sed s/^[0-9]*// > fonts.scale.myfonts 5) Now run SuSEconfig.fonts /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.fonts 6) Run xset to reread the font paths xset fp rehash The other thing to check is if xfs is running. Kcontrol -->System-->Font Installer will install the fonts for KDE Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
