You usually don't edit the XML file (though "this relatively complex system" allows you to do lots of cool stuff through it: control antialiasing, change the generic Sans Serif, Serif and Monospaced font to your prefered ones and thus affect Qt, Mozilla and GTK in one step...) -- you simply rely on the standard fonts.conf which includes ~/.fonts/ as a default font directory. Then you just save your TTFs to ~/.fonts -- and violla, all your Qt (KDE) / GTK (GNOME) / Mozilla apps see them. (no need for ttmkfdir, mkfontdir, xset ftp rehash or whatever!) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
