didn't know if this belongs in the Desktop/Utility category or here. is there a program that allows you to install fonts by dragging and dropping?
I know its relatively easy anyway, but the easier the better...
font manager
That's a good question....
As far as i know, on dir /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF, goes the TTF fonts.
Installing (just copying) the right Unicode fonts, you can be able to see Chinese, Hindi, Japanese characters... But have to be smart dealing with the UT8 standart.
I don't know if you was asking about 'goodlooking' fonts for your programs... If is on this way...¿What programs?

I think you're supposed to... but for me it seems to work without doing so. Or maybe they start working after a reboot as well or something.darkcity wrote:I believe as well as coping you have to run a few commands.

Well, i have checked this issue on Quirky 1.2, and just copying/linking the TTF fonts on that path, Abiword is able to use them. I download a few 'good-looking' fonts from here: http://box-look.org/index.php?xcontentm ... 3d8146ed38.
But, i have no knowledge about font managers... Just a way of do the same thing, manually.

Hi guys
There are 2 commands that should be run, for example if you install the fonts to /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF the you need to run:
Fortunately our friend zigbert has already created a drag'n'drop tool that takes care of everything.. Pfont

Hi 01micko...
Many thanks for the info, but i was wondering why it works without them (without commands).
I was checking the Pfont package, the main script, and it use the same commands and path as above, and it creates a list of the installed fonts before delete the old one (if it exits).
Do you know whats the difference between make the font installation with/without the commands? Is this a X related issue? Just a thought, as applications really seems to recognize my new-just-copied TTF fonts...
Thanks a lot!
