Some time ago, there was a note about putting fonts into X for use with both
the display and OpenOffice.org, etc.
I kept the docs and had used them on a couple FC4 systems and a RH8.0 system
with success.
I've upgraded 2 of the systems to FC5 and the same processes don't work.
Here's what I do:
unzip/untar fonts to /usr/share/X11/fonts/NEWFONTDIR
cd NEWFONTDIR
mkfontdir -a `pwd`
mkfontscale
chkfontpath -a `pwd`
service xfs restart
So, what am I missing? Even a dreaded MS-like reboot did nothing. I've checked
permissions and whatever else I could think of with a fuzzy brain.
I did find a small set of windows fonts in an RPM online somewhere during the
late hours last night. It's rpm was created by the author of the web page and
is: msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
