Hi all,
I have just wiped my system and reinstalled Debian (thanks completely to
Windows 2000 and my dual booting). I was attempting to setup my
truetype fonts for use in X, and I seem to be doing something wrong.
Here's what I've done and what it happening:
Copied /WINNT/Fonts/* /user/share/fonts/truetype to obtain the font
library.
apt-get install xfstt
added the quoted line to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
"xset fp+ unix/:7101"
restarted xfstt daemon with . /etc/init.d/xfstt restart
And here's what happens:
I am running Helix-gnome, so I go into gnomecc to change my default
fonts. When I hit "browse" to select a font, and highlight any of the
new ttf fonts (they do appear in the font list), I am told the font is
not available and the default 'fixed' font is used in it's place.
The same phenomenon occurs in both Mozilla M16-1 and in Netscape, and
seemingly any GTK program (i.e. Gnotepad+)
Have I left something out? I don't know what is wrong. It obvisouly
sees the path. I have also tried running X as root, and that doesn't
work either; root gets the same errors as user.
Thanks in adavance for any help.
Matt
