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.
$ 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/
Edit: Solved by runningyum install xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 [by imtiax]
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.
These would be bitmap fonts needed by X.
Hello everyone,On my system (Arch64, Gnome 3), some fonts are very small in some applications which use qt. All the fonts in Spotify (native) are barely readable. Same thing in KeepassX for the entry details in the bottom panel, although the rest of the text is normal. VLC works fine.I checked the default font in qtconfig, it's Cantarell 12 (as for gnome).
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."
I need larger fonts for my '10-foot interface'. I looked at the output of xlsfonts and seems like the biggest fonts are 36-point. Are larger fonts available? I remember doing something like this years ago and I was able to install 45-point, or even 60-point fonts. Does anyone know where I can find bigger fonts?
Thank you.
