Re: Problem Loading Custom Font

Hello Everyone;

 

OK - this font thing is getting more bizzare each time I work on it:

 

I just read a post, telling a user how to install fonts. Well, I've done everything that he told him to do.

 

Now - here's the interesting part:  He says: "Now open Open Office Writer or Gimp, and your fonts should be available!"

 

So I fire-off Gimp, open the text font widget - and it lists the Teletype font! I select it, and it works!

 

Then I try Open Office (Libreoffice), open the font widget - and it lists (and loads) the Teletype font too!

 

 

Maybe something has changed with <xterm> since RedHat 3 ENT and Fedora 16. Here's a list of the entries and how I'm trying to load them:

 

root% cd /usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF

 

 

root% ls -la

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          165 Mar 27 11:40 fonts.dir
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          165 Mar 27 11:40 fonts.scale
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        65700 Mar 27 11:00 teletype_1945.ttf

 

root% cat fonts.dir
2
teletype_1945.ttf -misc-teletype 1945_1985-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-ascii-0
teletype_1945.ttf -misc-teletype 1945_1985-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1

 

root%  xterm -fn teletype_1945.ttf
xterm: cannot load font 'teletype_1945.ttf'
xterm: cannot load font 'teletype_1945.ttf'

 

root%  xterm -fn " -misc-teletype 1945_1985-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1"
xterm: cannot load font '-misc-teletype 1945_1985-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1'
xterm: cannot load font ' -misc-teletype 1945_1985-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1'


Any ideas?

 

regards,

tonyp
