I've got Debian sid (2.4.18 kernel) with kde 2.2.2 installed on my Omnibook 500. I'm having a hard time getting fonts to behave. Is there a decent FAQ covering font installation? I'd really love something with a troubleshooting diagram.
I have anti-aliasing working. My problem is KDE itself only seems to recognize about 10 fonts in the look & Feel:Fonts panel (courier 10 pitch, nimbus, a few others). KDE will render Helvitica but I can't select it in the picker. KWord also seems to let me select from about 10 different fonts. This is a KDE problem since gfontsel seems to recognize over 100 fonts, including my true type fonts, but it has problems with some (not all) 2 byte fonts. gfontview seems to render everything as long as I point it at the right directory. Crufty old xfontsel seems to recongnize all my fonts and renders them just fine. "xlsfonts | wc -l" gives 5462, so there are plenty of fonts installed as far as X is concerned. How do I get KDE to at least recognize my TT fonts? Thanks for any help Charlie.
