However, I forgot what font I installed. All of them works fine under Windows though because right after I install fonts, I tested it. That come to the question how I can manually, or semi automatically convert fonts to Linux. What I mean by manually is what specific command line I have to type for each step of the process. That way it would be easier for me to spot out the font that cause the trouble. For the semi automatic approach, I edited the /etc/fstab file to remove the mount to the NTFS file system and copy the fonts to a ext3 directory. Drakfont some how stubbornly refuse to install the font from my directory. It keeps saying it can't find any windows font in directories /win*/fonts. Do you have any suggestion?
