Use TrueType fonts in Puppy applications
1.Go to
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=3247
2.RTFM
and Download/install mkfontdir.pup
3. Make this script.
WARNNG! i'm a newbie in this but the script seems to work.
#!/bin/sh
cp /root/.fonts/fonts.dir /root/.fonts/fonts.dir.bak
cp /root/.fonts/fonts.scale /root/.fonts/fonts.scale.bak
mkfontscale /root/.fonts
mkfontdir /root/.fonts
4. copy your .ttf font files to /root/.fonts {you can maybe find some in c:\windows\fonts or elswhere}
run the script and the fonts will work in your applications.
ENJOY!
