Did you see Ivan's font topic: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=18249 ?After you installed the fonts, did you rebuild the font cache?BlackIvan wrote:If you want to install some new fonts, especially bitmap fonts from outside the repos put them under ~/.fonts or for system wide use under /usr/share/fonts.
I just installed my Windows fonts like I normally do(/usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts). I did sudo fc-cache -f -v and restarted. When I logged on and went too Google there were no fonts on the page. I tried other websites such as this forum, Neowin and Bing. All didn't have fonts. FontyPython said "Font may be bad and cannot be drawn."
$ fc-list | sed 's,:.*,,' | sort -ulists everything except Type1 directory contents.Meanwhile fc-cache searches and caches /usr/share/fonts/Type1$ xlsfonts|grep nimbus shows the font.% xset q
/.../
Font Path:
/usr/share/fonts/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic/,/usr/share/fonts/local/,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/TTF/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/
Not sure if this is in the right sub-forum. Could a mod please move this if it's not...I'm on the prowl for some new fonts and I'm hoping to get the #!
I have a large archive of fonts (about 16,000 fonts) that I need convenient access to, without actually installing them all and bogging down my system.
In Kubuntu 12.04 using man fonts.conf i read:
~/.fonts.conf is the conventional location for per-user font configuration,
although the actual location is specified in the global fonts.conf file.
But in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf i cannot find any settings giving me that local conf file path.
I am asking this, because in 12.10 the same command give me:
reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf
I used a font manager on Mac OS X, for additional fonts in my graphic design projects without installing them to the fonts folder (I think that's how it works) - using Font Book and Font Explorer X Version 1.2.3 on OS X 10.6.
Most fonts work fine, but Interstate has a problem:
Interstate Regular is installed, but for some reason it's probably not seeing it; it's seeing all the Bold and Condense
I am running fedora 18 with Mate Desktop. I have installed xfig. It complains of missing fonts for practically all fonts. Those fonts which do show up are spaced wide apart.
I have installed xorg-x11-font-misc in addition to a whole lot of fonts needed by latex. I have also installed msttcore-fonts.
Recently, I have found out how to install sharp fonts on my Fedora 11 (I am using it since fedora 9). The instruction is very simple and straightforward (see sharpfonts.com). But after all my fonts changed, my login screen became fully unreadable - all labels are displayed as squares. I've tried the same guide on the fresh fedora 11 install and it work perfectly.
