Public bug reported: Needlessly lost an hour of my time figuring out why I couldn't install the Abril Fatface font from http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/list/classification/serif
Whatever howto I followed, the font wouldn't show up in xlsfonts... ... until, on a hunch, I restarted my inkscape, and lo and behold: there it was. But why doesn't xlsfonts show it? 1) > lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Release: 14.04 2) > apt-cache policy x11-utils x11-utils: Installed: 7.7+1 Candidate: 7.7+1 Version table: *** 7.7+1 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What I expected to happen: xlsfonts should show *all* installed fonts 4) What happened instead: xlsfonts showed *some* fonts, but not all ** Affects: x11-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to x11-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574974 Title: xlsfonts does not display all fonts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-utils/+bug/1574974/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
