Following the instructions in
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Font-FAQ I am trying to add
fonts to be globally available. I have created a folder and put my new
fonts there. It then says I should create a text file
called /usr/share/X11/fonts/local.conf, with the new folder added in the
format
<dir> /usr/share/X11/fonts/NewFonts </dir>
However, when I run 'fc-cache /usr/share/X11/fonts/NewFonts' I get the
error
Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 2: junk after document element
I don't understand why they describe such a complicated method! I just
add directories in:
/usr/share/fonts/default/
then went into these directories and perform successively:
ttmkfdir (if fonts are true type)
mkfontdir
fc-cache
then run chkfontpath --add $PWD
And that's all.
I tried this method, Francois, and the new fonts were available to kword.
However, they are not available to openoffice. I don't know why it should be
so, but perhaps that's why they advocate their particular method.
May be your problem is now solved, but I was out for sometimes.
I remenber that this method worked for openoffice only if I added my
font directories in /usr/share/fonts/default/
Before that, I tried to build my own "local" directories, something like:
/opt/share/X11/fonts/...
and the fonts were not available to OO.
