IMO what Puppy really needs is a way to preview a font file that isn't installed... you don't by any chance know how to do that?

Does it install whole folder of fonts ? That ability would be helpful.

I think you can just copy them all into /root/,fonts and restart X.

What you mean with 'not-installed'? I'm not sure of understand it...
If you have some fonts already downloaded, why don't you try to symlink them for tested?
This app can do the 'test-job', without the need of install nothing (on just 1 Kb Cool)... Do the try, it works... If you dont like the font, just un-symlink it.
See the attached cap on where no font was installed... Cool

Just for curiosity, i made this little script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cp -s "$@" /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF
exec pfont

I save it to my-applications as "TTF.sh".
Right click on a TTF font and 'set a run action' and drag the script 'TTF.sh' into the box.
It works great, and could help to test non-installed fonts just by double clicking on them.
But, its just a way of TEST...

Regards.

Thank you zigbert.

I've just used your little utility to add an Arial Unicode MS font to my puppy installation. I'm ready for everything now.
