Last evening I installed some Leonardo DaVinci-style TT fonts from a windows
floppy I have using drakfont. It seemed to go OK, in that I could navigate
to the /mnt/floppy drive and see the ttfs there. I selected them and
installed. When I run drakfont now, I see the leonardo fonts are listed and
if I select them, they appear as they should in the preview window.
I decided to test them out. I first started kword (latest koffice from
cooker) and selected the leonardo font. When I started typing, nothing
appeared and the cursor vanished as well. Nothing I did would make them
display.
I then opened kwrite and tried to select the leonardo fonts there but they
were not there to be selected. I reopened drakfont and they are there and
display properly in drakfont, as before.
What is the deal here? What steps are necessary to make these fonts become
properly available to all my various apps?
