wanted to test it with some Microsoft fonts (f.e. Trebuchet MS), so I installed the Microsoft True Type Core Fonts, using the Ubuntu Software Center, but they don't work (tested with Firefox and Chromium).I made a very simple test HTML, and set my default font to a monospaced font, to see if it falls back, and it does for all fonts except Helvetica and Arial.
View 2 RepliesI just finished installing a bunch of truetype fonts. After installing them, firefox is displaying "bradybunch" font when I search google.
The font settings are all serif and sans serif in both the system fonts settings and firefox settings.
I am using ubuntu 9.10.
Any idea why this could be happening?
How do I add truetype fonts to LibreOffice? I have already copied the .ttf file to the /user/share/fonts/truetype directory.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a large Font folder that contains around 2000 fonts. It contains both TrueType and OpenType Fonts. So, I want to separate TrueType and Opentype fonts.
Is there any automated way (something like script or something faster to do) to separate the TrueType and OpenType fonts ?
I just check out the 'file' command it just says "TrueType font data" for both TrueType and OpenType Fonts.
I can't manage to find the fonts directory in Ubuntu. The fonts directory is much more conspicuous in Windows OS. Since I am a web designer, I love to experiment with a spectrum of fonts ornately expressed. I have migrated from Windows to Ubuntu because I am very impressed by its organization and functionality (sadly I couldn't download Ubuntu 11 due to internet connection errors. Moreover ShipIt had terminated).
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy goal here is to install the truetype fonts so I can use them in openoffice. I'm using Fedora 13 w/ Gnome. Just installed it yesterday, I followed the instructions found here: [URL] but I get this error: "error: Failed dependencies: /usr/sbin/chkfontpath is needed by msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch" I found chkfontpath at rpm.pbone.net and put it in my rpms folder but now I get "xfs is needed by chkfontpath-1.10.1-2.fc13.i686"

I have just undertaken my first install of debian after a couple years of using ubuntu. I used netinstall and have made a minimal install with wheezy and lxde. I am trying to install the ubuntu-font-family because it is so pretty!
1. I tried downloading the .ttf files, extracting them to a directory and using the program 'font-manager' (which I had used on ubuntu previously,) and it says they are installed but I can not access the font from any program.
2. I tried using fontmatrix, another graphical program. Same thing.
3. I tried installing the .deb package for the fonts after downloading from the ubuntu repos. still cannot use them. (but I can physically see the font files in the folder, same as with above methods.)3. i tried manually installing the fonts via the command fc-cache -f -v (after placing them in /usr/share/fonts, /usr/local/share/fonts, and ~/.fonts [none of which worked.]) After running the command 'fc-cache -f -v,' I run the command 'fc-list' and the fonts are still not in the list.
After upgrading to 9.10, the fonts I had placed in my .fonts folder no longer function in any application.I have tried to re-install them by just clicking on the font itself and going through the installation screen. But this doesn't do anything.I have tried to delete and the re-create my .fonts folder in my /home partition. But that also fails.
Did Ubuntu do something different with user-installed fonts in 9.10? Should my fonts be relocated to another folder?How can I install "after market" fonts?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI ran a program under WINE and when it terminated, suddenly lots of programs were running with tiny fonts, including Google Chrome, Unison, and PLT Scheme. I think what these programs have in common is they all use GTK. I am running Debian Linux without a Gnome desktop. As suggested on the web, I put this text in ~/.gtkrc-2.0:
style "user-font"
{
font_name="BitStreamVeraSans 14"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="BitStreamVeraSans 14"
Unfortunately this change has had no discernible effect.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat is your favorite font that is available for Linux (anything but M$ fonts)? They can be monospaced or non-monospaced, unlike the font thread in General that only accepts monospaced ones. However, they *must* be Linux fonts; no M$ or Apple fonts allowed.
