Are you using Gnome/Nautilus? If so, open up in Nautilus "fonts:///". This should show what you have in your ~/.fonts directory, as well as what is shared on the system (will be read-only). Drag and drop fonts here. Of note, it seems you have to refresh to see the font actually be there. But it does work... for me anyway. YMMV. A shame that fonts:/// is hidden though. It's actually in Menu --> Preferences --> Font. Then "Details..." button. Then "Go to font folder" button. It's the same as just typing "font:" in Nautilus location bar. Of course, you could probably, as root, include the fonts in /etc/skel. Just make a .fonts directory there, and include what you want. Then when you create an account, it should, technically copy it to the new account. I could be wrong on this one. > > Is there any plans for something like this or I have overlook something? > Martin Alderson, > IntechHosting dex
