I'm not sure you're supposed to pick the fonts you want when you are in DrakFont. I always just browse to the directory where the ttf files are and then hit OK. After that, I get another dialog window that allows me to finish the process.

Hi, I'm using drakfont to examine the fonts that I have available to me. If I click on "Get Windows fonts", it complains that there's no Windows partition on my machine - which, strictly speaking, is true. It tells me to use 'Add fonts" instead. Now, I *do* have a Windows 98 machine running on my little home network here, and its C: drive is mounted on the Linux machine as /mnt/c. I can cd to /mnt/c/windows/fonts just fine and look at the files, etc. However, if I use "Add fonts" and work my way over to that directory, any font file that I try to click on doesn't get selected, and if I manually type the font file name into the "Selection:" box and click ok, I get an error message. It doesn't bother to tell me what the problem is, it just say "Error while opening '/mnt/c/WINDOWS/FONTS/arial.tif' (as an example). So, two questions here: One, is there any way that I can fool drakfont into using /mnt/c/windows/fonts as a Windows Font directory, so that "Get Windows fonts" will work? And two, is there any way to clear up whatever the error is when I try to select a font manually? --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key
