How Do I Add Font Paths to XPDF
So, Adobe Reader ain't available for 64-bit so I'm stuck with XPDF (or Okular, which is better than XPDF) and most stuff won't print worth a hoot. I've been reading the manual pages and somewhere or other I'm missing some thing about adding font paths (or replacing the default font paths). I have the complete Adobe Type Library plus TTF's installed in /usr/local/share/fonts (and they work just fine with OpenOffice.org) but I can't seem to figure out how to get them or the Slackware-provided fonts available to XPDF.
Any hints? |
regarding okular, it doen't have specific option to install font paths. But it was able to show all types of fonts available in my system.

For xpdf, try changing the font path in /etc/xpdfrc from /usr/share/ghostscript to /usr/share/libwmf
This enables commonly used Windows fonts. Code:
bash-4.1$ diff /etc/xpdfrc.new /etc/xpdfrc |
Thanks for the hint about libwmf -- makes XPDF almost (almost) look decent and it seems to print better than in did.
O where O where is Adobe Reader for 64-bit... |
