I notice tha my *.pfb fonts (from Corel Draw) all of which are in one folder /home/bart/adobepfb read ok except Shelley (Allegro, Andante, Volante) and American uncial. These print but do not show in the font chooser as themselves but only as mono spaced lettering; and they do not show in the text box but as placeholders. Funny but I could swear that I did have that going in prior versions.
Odder, I tried to copy ALL the Corel Draw *.PFB from the CD. These come out as ../Fonts/TYPE1/A, ../../../B, ../../../C etc etc.And I cannot get these to read at all (they are upper case file names). The folder ./home/bart/adobeepfb is working and I can switch it on and off by using the "add Font Paths" tab. So I am correct there. But nothing takes hold from /home/bart/fonts_corel_draw. Ok if I have to change 2880 names easily is there a trick? sed? awk? a shell script? Even more interesting the true type fonts I so proudly installed in /home/bart/truetype do not show at all and they are masked by the equivalent post script (from Corel Draw, too). I had the nerve to give out advice on this topic. I do NOT want to use the kfontistaller mechanism > want to keep these fonts for Scribus alone which is why I use the tab.
