I noticed that mkttfdir couldn't produce fonts.dir for some fonts, but ttmkfdir could. I don't know if it works the other way around for some fonts. Anyway, you can find ttmkfdir at http://www.joerg-pommnitz.de/TrueType/ttmkfdir.tar.gz (the first and only link you get when you search for ttmkfdir in freshmeat) -- Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG 1024D/68388EE66FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6 pgpHAoxwBh6YO.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: where to find ttmkfdir?
Here's what I do when I want new True Type fonts : 1. Download TrueType font 2. Convert all font file names to lowercase (important) 3. Copy .ttf file in dans /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType 4. Generate fonts.dir : mkttfdir -e (Debian package utils/fttools) 5. Re-start font server : /etc/init.d/xfs restart Works fine... Dominique

OTOH, I use ttmkfdir, not mkttfdir... is this a limitation in the latter? -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors! The only perfect science is hind-sight.

I've read it in a mini-howto somewhere when I made my researches the first time, to have my TTF fonts work... Dominique

Re: where to find ttmkfdir?
Yes indeed, but with XFree 4 :-) I use XFree 4.0.2 from woody (testing)
Re: where to find ttmkfdir?
This is a side issue to this thread, but I have the nvidia drivers and qt w/ Anti-aliased font support on in my sid box and kde doesn't seem to acknowledge the presence of my ttf fonts. Does anyone know how to fix this? I made my fonts.dir w/ mkttfdir if it makes any difference. --timball -- Send mail with subject "send pgp key" for public key. pub 1024R/CFF85605 1999-06-10 Timothy L.
