I use debian 6.0.0. I have installed scim scim-m17n scim-gtk2-immodule m17n-db im-switch. I can write hindi fine in browsers & gedit using transliteration. In vim I see that matra & letter are not positioned correctly. Here is screenshot post.jpg. I am using 'Akshar Unicode' . 'Monospace' does not help either. Otherwise , what font you use?
I am trying to learn how to use true type fonts in SDL using libsdl-ttf. I am trying to use the font "FreeSans.ttf" but my program prints out the message "Couldn't open FreeSans.ttf." Any way to get a list of what fonts true type fonts exist using C++ and SDL?
When installing OpenSUSE 11.4 32 bits (NET-installation) no MS True Type Fonts were installed during the additional online update. They weren't just there. So for instance LibreOffice is unusable for me. How do I still get them?
I having Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx at Dell laptop. i want to read documents written in hindi language. I have a font called Mangla installed in open-office that helps to read these files. But if I open them in gedit or display them by using following command, I cannot open them in readable format:- cat Hindi.txt
[Output] ....
I want this file should also be readable to a executable file of (CMU's toolkit). I have installed several types of fonts such as lohit_hi.ttf. The system does seem to be recognizing this language.
attempting to install VLC I get the following errors;
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/kde4/kfontview.desktop": "fonts/package" is an invalid MIME type ("fonts" is an unregistered media type) Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/gnome-nautilus-folder-handler.desktop": usage of MIME type "x-directory/gnome-default-handler" is discouraged ("x-directory" is an old media type that should be replaced with a modern equivalent) Warning in file "/usr/share/applications/gnome-nautilus-folder-handler.desktop": usage of MIME type "x-directory/normal" is discouraged ("x-directory" is an old media type that should be replaced with a modern equivalent)
Thoughts or suggestions on how to fix this. I running Fedora 13 and I used 'yum install vlc' to install the app.
I would like to use the Adobe Garamond Pro in my text doccument in open office writer. I got a text document where from a friend where it is used so I know that it can. But when I want to edit I cant find it in the fonts dropdown menu.
I have a folder with over 1500 fonts, I would like to move them to my /usr/share/fonts folder so that they can be used. Some are from Windows, some are just random extras. I've installed the msttcorefonts, but there are quite a few missing that make some wen pages look different.
How can I go about putting the fonts from my folder, into the appropriate /usr/share/fonts folder to be used? And how can I move them all? I can't drag and drop them, and mv FONT_NAME /usr/share/fonts for all of them will take a month or two. Is there a way to elevate my self to be able to just drag and drop them all? And which folder would they need to go into for them to be used in Chrome and Firefox?
I have just installed openSUSE 11.2 X86_64 on my laptop, I then used KDE to install lots of type 1 fonts for my printer. These get loaded to /usr/local/share/fonts/...These installed fonts are visible to KDE (KWRITE) and GIMP so I assume that the installation was O.K. When I start openOFFICE writer I do not see these fonts. The font selection appears to be the fonts located under /usr/share/fonts. I have not tried other ooo3 components. I assume that they are not going to see the fonts either.
I have searched google and it appears that /usr/local/share/fonts is the correct location for non-packaged fonts. Has anybody any idea what is wrong? I think I could move all the fonts to /usr/share/fonts and ooo3 would work but this seems to break the installation directory structure. I have considered symlinks but I don't like the idea of defining a font twice to Linux and creating the syslinks is more work than reinstalling the fonts if they are lost
1. What do I need to set all the fonts to in 11.04 to make them look more like W7 fonts?2. Is there a way I can improve the graphics in WINE? Some very simple games run slow. Is there a way I can change the cursors in wine.
In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I just loaded octave. I ran through a few examples of how to implement a script file. Everything works until I get to "plot". When I run the "plot" command I get the following.
octave:2> test1.m error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> type sh: gnuplot: not found Just to double check my work, I ran the following code: y=[1 2 3]; plot(y);
Just sharing some progress with font instalation in fedora 10, because there is no more support to xfs or chkfontpath. Take a look at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, in the beginning of this file you can find:
Code:
<!-- Font directory list --> <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1</dir> <dir>/usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF</dir>
[code]...
To install true type fonts, just throw your fonts in one of these directories. You can put it in your own home if you want (~/.fonts). With this, you can install any fonts, like windows fonts, mscorefonts ... Don't forget to restart X and test with fc-list.
I just installed Fedora 13 x86_64 using default settings (after not using Linux for few years), everything went well, but the following question bugs me: All fonts used by Fedora GUI on my LCD (1680x1050 native resolution) seem a bit blurred, stretched, not as crisp as displayed by Windows on the same LCD, and also worse than what I see on my Mac notebook. Fedora fonts use more screen pixels and at the same time provide lower subjective quality, it hurts perception of the whole system . I wonder if it's a general problem with Fedora fonts quality, or I can tweak it somehow to get more aesthetically pleasing results.
I've downloaded some new fonts and want to play with them. I know that I could simply add them to ~/.fonts, but I'd like to do it right, and make them available system wide. (Yes, I know I'm the only user, but I'd like to learn how to do it on a multi-user system.) I've looked in /share/fonts and seen a number of folders containing font groups, but each of these fonts is complete in one file. Should I just dump them into /share/fonts or should I make a special folder, let's say /share/fonts/custom and install them there?
I updated yesterday and now the fonts in my application (PokerStars) look bad (grainy). why this might be and what can be done to fix it? I reapplied "winetricks allfonts" but that didn't help.
I've installed Arial fonts as per this package:msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpmut why do some of the Arial fonts look not right in Firefox 3.5? It seems that Arial 10pt bold is the worst, with large spacing between the letters.In Ubuntu, using that same RPM and the same version of Firefox, the fonts look fine.I have two screen shots you can click on:1) Fedora 12 beta:Ubuntu 9.04:irefox-ubuntu.gifLook at the top left corner, "Jamieson Cottages by the River" - it's almost like the Arial 10pt bold is double spaced in Fedora.Whereas in Ubuntu, things look much better in terms of letter spacing.
Just have upgraded from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13 and now fonts in KDE are too large, so my 1280x1024 desktop resolution seams like much lower. Such apps like Thunderbird, Firefox, Opera and others have their own font settings, but they affect only on text inside browser or e-mail. All menus, toolbars and other elements are big. Other apps which don't have own font settings have all fonts big. I tried to change font sizes in system fonts parameters, set all them to 10, but no any effect. It's especially inconvenient in Thunderbird, because it has big fonts not only in menus, but also in names of all folders and even in messages subjects. Only message text itself is customizable in its settings.
I run Fedora on an IBM T42: Linux 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686 #1 SMP Tue Oct 19 04:42:47 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.Just ran yum update and what.There's a Java, an SSH and an SElinux update but I get the following font packages to install and update.ENGLISH.... i do not see why I would need " Bengali " font on my Linux. Why is it that with out asking for it.I get font that are foreign to me ?
I haved "yum install"ed a few fixed fonts, e.g. bitmap-fixed-fonts, but they do not show up in the xlsfonts listing, and hence, I assume, for the same reason "xterm -fn 9x15" complains that the 9x15 font is not found. The fonts are delivered as pcf files. I have followed some directions on the net, but have not been successful at having the pcf font files integrated into the Fedora 14 font system.
In Fedora Core 15 using Gnome 3, the font(s) used to label each icon on the desktop looks bad on my LCD monitor. It looks like small parts of the letters are missing. Can this font be improved?
