Hi, I have to install a lot of ttf (more than 100). I already have the files copied on my hdd. So, is there a way to install them without using the font installer in control center? Because it copies all the files in the .fonts directory. I do not need 2 copies and I do not need to spend all that time in copying either. Does someone know what will happen if I just create soft links in .fonts directory? Or any other solution? Cheers Sunny -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)

(1) Put all the fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype (2) Run "SuSEconfig --module fonts" Charles -- There are no threads in a.b.p.erotica, so there's no gain in using a threaded news reader. (Unknown source)

Hey, I knew that there's an easy way :) Thanks. Btw, nice threading observation :) Cheers -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)

There is an article about installing TTFs the "easy" way in the Knowledge Database (or whatever it is called now- and if it even exists now!); it was written about 3 years ago. Unless things have changed since then, the "no-no" when using TTFs from another OS, for example, was that you could not use any TTFs which had, say, ~ or ^ or * or similar in the name although the underscore (_) was OK if I recall correctly.
