Hi all I am using SuSE 7.3, KDE 3.0.3, XFree86 4.1.0 .. I use the Arabic language in KDE3 so I wanted to get the TrueType fonts that comes with MS-Windows to use for Arabic .. I refered to a HOWTO that explains how to impoert TTFs to SuSE .. it worked BUT it did not define the fonts for the Encoding UTF-8 ( ISO-10646-1) .. it is essensial to define it for UTF-8 as it is the encoding used in KDE3 and GNOME2 .. for example the font TAHOMA that I use for Arabic is defined for : ( this is from /use/X11/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/fonts.dir ) tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-fcd8859-15 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-10 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-9 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-8 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-7 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-6 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-5 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-4 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-3 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2 tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 while I want it to be defined for ISO10646-1 as well .. how can I do so ? knowing that in Mandrake the fontdrake tool import the Windows TTFs properly and define it for ISO10646-1 as well .. Thanks for your help .. Yours Isam Bayazidi
