Do you know you're actually using a font server? I ask because I haven't seen one in nearly a decade. Have you tried simply copying the ttf file into $(HOME)/.fonts/? This has been sufficient for me for at least a couple of years, but it's possible that there's some DE magic happening behind the scenes (works with both Gnome and KDE at least, but I don't know if either is required). I don't believe I've had to restart anything other than the application in which I want to use the new font. -Nye -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
