True type fonts and FC4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, all

I have almost 400 true type fonts that I've been using for years, since
when I was a Windows user. I've been installed them successfully in
every Linux distribution I've installed so far, including FC3. However,
when I install them on FC4 (using KDE Control Center), no application
(except OpenOffice) "sees" the fonts. OpenOffice sees them, but they
display horribly, kind of low resolution, and the characters are so
close from each other that they overlap. Firefox does'nt see the fonts,
nor any other application.
I tried to remove them and install manually (copied them to a directory,
included it on X fonts path using chkfontpath, run fc-cache, ttmkfdir
and mkfontdir, restarted xfs). No difference.
For last, I've downloaded a RPM package with MS true type core fonts and
tried to install it. Right after the installation, everything seemed ok,
although I don't know what the rpm did that I didn't. However, after the
first reboot, the same things happens: no application sees the fonts,
except OpenOffice, in which they display wrong.
If I install the fonts directly in OpenOffice (copying or linking them
into oodir/share/fonts/truetype), they display ok in OOo, but obviously
are not available for other applications.
Anybody knows what may be happening?

Thanks,

Marcelo
