Hi.

We are running Fedora 8 on Intel 686 boxes.

Has anybody successfully used the instructions at
<http://corefonts.sourceforge.net> to build the msttcorefonts RPM?

In our case, I can tell you the following:

The directory /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts is populated with fonts:
$ ls /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts
andalemo.ttf comic.ttf ...
arial.ttf comicbd.ttf ...
arialbd.ttf cour.ttf ...
arialbi.ttf courbd.ttf ...
ariali.ttf courbi.ttf ...
ariblk.ttf couri.ttf ...

chkfontpath seems to know about this directory:
$ /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -l
Current directories in font path:
1: catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d
2: /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts

I have both restarted and reloaded xfs, which does seem to be running:
$ /sbin/service xfs status
xfs (pid 12505) is running...

However, xlsfonts isn't finding the fonts:
$ xlsfonts|grep microsoft
$ xlsfonts|grep monotype
IOW, no fonts match these patterns.

What have I neglected to do here?

Thanks.

Hi.

In a previous posting, I mentioned having problems with the
msttcorefonts RPM. In particular, my lead question asked
Has anybody successfully used the instructions at
<http://corefonts.sourceforge.net> to build the msttcorefonts RPM?
I should point out that I have successfully *built* the RPM. The
problem is that xlsfonts doesn't seem to find the fonts this RPM has
created, even though the font directory is in the font path and there
is a valid fonts.dir file in the directory.

Thanks once again.
