Hi,

I installed a TTF font yesterday and it was recognised in GIMP, this is how I did it:

--> Power up 'KDE Control Center'. --> Select 'System' - 'Font Installer' from the left panel. --> Click the 'Administrator Mode' button. --> Enter your root password. --> Note: The border will change red indicating you are in administrator mode. --> Make sure you are in the 'Fonts' tab. --> Select the 'Change Folder' button on the left section. --> Navigate to the directory where the "*.ttf *.TTF *.pfa *.pfb *.PFA *.PFB" files that you want to install are located. --> Select the folder (Do NOT seclect the individual files). --> The system will scan that directory and display all valid fonts in that window. --> Select the font and click the 'Install' button. --> The font will then be installed. --> Click the 'Apply' button and exit 'KDE Control Center'. --> Start or Restart GIMP and your font will be there.

Hope this helps. Q

Hi Quinton, Thanks for the info but I have all ready have done that and all the Truetypes are available on all KDE applications but the GTK apps (Galeon, Gimp, Gnumeric) do not show any of the Truetype fonts being available. By any chance do you have Gnome Desktop installed or a package called gdkxtt? Thanks, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

How do you get Gimp to recognise truetype fonts using the KDE Desktop. All my KDE apps work with trutype fonts but I cannot get any Gnome based app to use the truetype fonts I have installed.

I tried installing gdkxft but I cannot seem to get it working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using SuSE 8.0.

Hi, After a lot of mucking around I found a solution to my problem of TrueType fonts were not available in Gimp but were available to all the KDE applications. Still don't really know why KDE was displaying them when they were not even in the Xserver. Here is the solution. 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 You should be able to see the fonts with xfontsel Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

I usually use KSnapshot to capture the screen (KDE Menu -> Graphics -> KSnapshot). Regards, Verdi On Friday 23 August 2002 14:05, Nick Selby wrote:

Can anyone make a recommendation for software that can take higher (300-600 dpi) res screenshots of the desktop environment?

Thanks Nick

Well, GIMP has the ability to take screenshots and I know that it can produce very high res graphics..so stands to reason that it can take high res screenshots. :) * Nick Selby (php@nickselby.com) [020822 23:47]: ::On Friday 23 August 2002 08:31, Verdi March wrote: ::> I usually use KSnapshot to capture the screen (KDE Menu -> Graphics -> ::> KSnapshot). :: ::I do too.

Hi I agree.. They only way I can think to increase the resolution, is to increase the screen resolution, and use bigger fonts / window, and then take screen capture. But that has limitations too... There is a significant difference between 640x480 and 1280x1024 resolution, but still.... Jaska. On Friday 23 August 2002 10:07, Derek Fountain wrote:

Puzzled... A screenshot program can only capture the pixels on the screen. The dots per inch is only relevant to the program which wants to print them (or whatever). What are you actually trying to do?
