[opensuse] TTF Fonts for Google Earth, howto install?
Hi list, - when one starts google earth, it complains (but otherwise runs just fine) that a certain bitstrema vera font is missing. It provides a link from where one may download the fonts. Done so, unpacked into a directory now containing af pile of fonts. Now, where does one learn how-to install those darned fonts? Nowhere, just nowhere, can I find "install fonts" or something similar on my SuSE10.3 system? Where can I read about how-to get these fonts recognized? As always, thank you! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You might want to try the KDE Control Center. Regards, Matthias -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thank You, but I did that. It allows me to handle fonts already known by the system. These are an addition to the system. Where/how do I add them....that's what I can't seem to figure out :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

kcontrol -> system administration -> font installer; Or even easier simply drag and drop the fonts to fonts:/System/ in konqueror -- Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

- that was what I overlooked, the "system administration". Never used it :-) - works now, thank you to all! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Now, where does one learn how-to install those darned fonts? Nowhere, just nowhere, can I find "install fonts" or something similar on my SuSE10.3 system? I would try copying them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ and running SuSEconfig.

Just ignore the message. You don't need Vera if you have DejaVu fonts, which are a currently developed superset of Vera, which is no longer developed. DejaVu is installed by default instead of Vera for the past several releases. -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The simplest way is to create a folder below /usr/share/fonts, copy the fonts to it and then run 'SuSEconfig -module fonts'. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
