Hi all I've used the fetchmsttfonts utility and downloaded the necessary fonts and followed instructions as stated in http://dinamizm.ath.cx/generalx.html. It looks like everything has worked but I cant get Opera or OpenOffice to use the fonts..and when I run xlsfonts | grep ttf I dont get any result. If I just run xlsfonts I'm not sure if I can see any trytype fonts or not, at least I cant find the term tryetype in the list. Does anyone have any help or hint for me? Thanks Thomas

Hi Thomas, The following should work, I had similiar problems. 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 ---------------------------------------------------------
