I ran the FontSample script and got a list of 29 fonts that are "broken, discarding it." Some live in /Library/Fonts and some live in /sw/lib/X11/applettf. Some of the fonts it says were broken appeared in the output document FontSample created.
I have applesystemfonts, msttcorefonts, and ghostscript-fonts installed via fink. I pointed scribus to all three directories to add those fonts. (Are there any other font packages worth installing? I see gimp-freefonts and gimp-sharefonts in the fink list.) How do I fix or get rid of these fonts? I also don't want the applettf bad fonts showing up again after I update it to a new version. Most of the fonts in /Library I've never used (AlBayan.ttf, Geeza.ttf, etc.). I probably wouldn't miss them. The ones in applettf I have (Copperplate.ttf, MarkerFeltThin.ttf, etc.). The whole font thing is a big mystery to me, but I'd like to get my X11 apps (Scribus, OpenOffice, and Gimp) and, ideally, my Mac OS X apps all working with the same fonts and having all the fonts work. That may be a pipe dream, but at a minimum I'd like each app to only see fonts it can use. -- Carol Kankelborg cckborg1 at kankelborg.net
