You can import Windows fonts using Samba.
Just mount the remote windows directory with Samba and then use the 'Advanced'
button in Drakfont to point to individual font files. Or else copy the font
files to any media and import from there.
NOTE: There is an issue with drakfont - A required RPM
Howdy Angus, list memebers,
I am curious if anybody knows will this work if I do not have Windows
installed on my system, can I still import windows fonts into mandrake
9.0?
I do have a computer in the house which has WinME (that is the
newest version of windows I have access to) and
Ok,
I took my own suggestion and attempted importing the windows fonts.
After some trial and error, I was able to import the fonts (and after
reading your message Derek, I discovered I do not have perlftlib
installed???) but now I have a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/tmp
directory which

When I go back into Mandrake control center-system-fonts, they do not
show up thru there. I do have the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf
and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1 directories, and I was able
to choose the new fonts in Gedit. Is there another place where I could
check?
Sorry for not including this earlier, but my Type1 directory is empty,
ttf is full of ttf fonts (is that repetition? LOL) and my
/drakfont/tmp/ contains various types of fonts, not all ttf. I suspect
the import process did not complete itself. Not sure.

Greetings, I just wanted to pass this along...I thought I would import my MS
fonts from my windows partition (winME), after reading about being able to do that
with Drakfont. Also, I read that MS fonts are much better than those used by Mdk.
I am more partial to readability than style,
