archish Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 In suse if i copy and paste TTF from win partition into the linux font dir it worked fine but in slackware I am unable to see my fonts installed. Is there any other method to install true type fonts in slackware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tran Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Can't you just copy them into your ~/.fonts directory? If it's not there just make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulletRobZ Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 There is a way. First of all, you need to copy the TTF fonts from your Windows fonts directory to /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/TTF. Then, you need to delete the fonts.scale and fonts.dir files. Then in the console, run these commands in order: mkfontscale, mkfontdir, fc-cacle. One last thing to do is to check your XF86-Config to see if the /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/TTF fontpath is listed. If it isn't, you'll need to add it to your XF86Config file. Then once you load up KDE, Gnome, or any other X Application, you should have full access to your TrueType fonts. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
