Hi Jim, Here's how I would do it: as normal user or as root: - copy all fonts to another directory (just for safety) - in that directory run gFontview (http://gfontview.sourceforge.net), it displays the font names and the file names - put gfontview and a file manager on the same desktop - switch back and forth an remove the offending fonts then, as root: - create a new fonts.scale: ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale - create an new fonts.dir (& optionally a new encodings.dir): mkfontdir -e enc_dir (enc_dir is the directory containing the font encodings) - remove the dir which still has the offending fonts - put the new dir in its place (the font path remains the same) - maybe restart the x server: /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart > > I have successfully added y old friend fonts from my old box. > > There was a very nice tutorial mentioned a few months ago, but it is now > gone. I can't believe I'm the only one struggling with hordes of > unwanted fonts (or fonts that make GIMP crash) Don't know if mine deserves the qualification "very nice" :) It's only about adding fonts, maybe I should add info about removing them too? http://www.latinae.demon.nl/fonts/fonts.html > > Thanks- > > Jim Clark Good luck, Natalie PS I can't help you with your question about the fonts listed but not available, sorry :( -- Pirated tagline: Linux is like a wigwam, no windows, no gates, apache inside.
