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
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'm using Linux Mint 13, with Cinnamon. I have a .ttf file that I'm trying to use as my terminal font. I figured the directory for terminal fonts is /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ so I copied my .ttf file there. However, it doesn't show up in the terminal preferences font list.
What am I doing wrong?
You're welcome. Terminus is a bitmapped font but I don't know if that's the issue. I do remember a truetype font that looked pretty similar but- ummm... don't remember what it's actually called. :p Maybe someone will jump in with recommendations. There's also some fixed-width font examples here: http://www.lowing.org/fonts/in case you see anything you like.

The Gnome help describes how to install fonts: copy the font files to </usr/share/fonts>. I have some Type1 fonts with PFB, PFM, AFM and sometimes INF face files. The only ones I see in the <Type1> directory are AFM and PFA.
I'm making a PDF and I don't want to embed fonts inside it.
When I used Tahoma Foxit Reader substituted it for some default font on linux.
What is this font?
What font should I use so the Foxit Reader will not have to substitute font?
Installing fonts is not an option since the Client should be able to view this PDF on linux without having to install some fonts and stuff.
The default TrueType font for xterm and its variants is set to use the font matching the name 'mono'. Check with:$ fc-match monoIt is most likely DejaVu Sans Mono.The bitmap fonts selectable from the Unicode Fonts menu are specified in '/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm'. "Default" is given as:*VT100.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-
I downloaded the Source Code Pro family of fonts, but cannot install them via the Font Viewer. If I give myself admin powers, I can manually add them to the rest of the fonts, so I'm guessing it's a permission issue.
What would I need to do to install them via the Font Viewer?
As a slight aside, I also read something about making sure the fonts were in the font cache as well.
I know that:
Default font-is just default
Document font-for Documents
Window title fonts is for titles.
What the others are for? What is monospace font? I only know it's a font like any font.
Hinting is for notices like the names of objects in the dock, isn't it?
