Thanks. I copied the fonts from my Win2k to a fat 32 partician, then copied them into the path you stated. Art On Sun, 2002-08-18 at 12:01, Ben Rosenberg wrote:

I had my officemate zip up his fonts directory on his Windows XP box and scp it to my Linux box. I unzipped them into the truetype directory and ran SuSEconfig an following that I had more TT fonts available in X :)
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/"
I then tarred up that truetype font directory and scped it home to be burned to CD. I never trust MS to keep giving stuff away. They are a monolithic company and once they actually figure out what's going on they say " well, we won't have any of that. " and they screw everyone..not just the users they don't like. :)
sidenote:
BTW..there are tons of CD's available with TT fonts on them for under $10 in most cases at places like Fry's and Best Buy. I'm sure there are websites that have them as well.
Also, StarOffice 6.0 comes with quite a few TT fonts and this might be worth buying from SuSE for that reason as well.
"~/staroffice/share/fonts/truetype/"
Note: staroffice is the directory *I* chose for StarOffice 6.0 it's not the default, but 'share/fonts/truetype' is.
cheers!
