cannot select webcore fonts
Hi
I cannot seem to select any of the webcore fonts ( http://avi.alkalay.net/software/webcore-fonts/ ) such as Tahoma Verdana etc.
The fonts seem to get installed into /usr/share/fonts/webcore after using rpm -i
Code:
# ls /usr/share/fonts/webcore
andalemo.ttf courbi.ttf impact.ttf timesi.ttf verdanaz.ttf
arialbd.ttf couri.ttf l_10646.ttf times.ttf webdings.ttf
arialbi.ttf cour.ttf lucon.ttf trebucbd.ttf wingding.ttf
ariali.ttf fonts.dir micross.ttf trebucbi.ttf WINGDNG2.TTF
arial.ttf fonts.scale symbol.ttf trebucit.ttf WINGDNG3.TTF
ariblk.ttf georgiab.ttf tahomabd.ttf trebuc.ttf
comicbd.ttf georgiai.ttf tahoma.ttf verdanab.ttf
comic.ttf georgia.ttf timesbd.ttf verdanai.ttf
courbd.ttf georgiaz.ttf timesbi.ttf verdana.ttf
but a restart of X didnt refresh the fonts .. I can select them in GNOME -> System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Appearance -> Fonts. They are not there.
I tried inserting this into xorg.conf
Code:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/webcore"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/webcore-vista"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/misc"
EndSection
however then I get some error about "missing default 'misc' fonts" in the Xorg.log file and X does not start.
Commenting out the entire Files section and fontpaths, removes the error and X starts but still no webcore fonts.
any ideas? |
