Another chapter in the continuing font saga...
last you heard from our hero, he was able to compile and install the KDE app
KFontInstall, which, oddly enough, installs fonts! Running this program as
root pretty much yielded the desired results, making a bunch of TT and PS
fonts available. However, our hero soon realized that these fonts would only
be available with a root login to KDE. When logging in as the normal user,
he discovered that only a minimal few fonts were available through KDE's
look&feel->font utility. This is the case even when our hero installs the
same fonts with Kfontinstaller himself (non-root) to a user font directory.
So is it a permissions problem? a config problem? a KDE problem? what is
keeping these obviously installed fonts from being available system wide
(easily). FYI: RH7.2, KDE2.2.1 (manual build and install), XFS (x font
server).
Any help is appreciated.
thanks
Chris
