i went to dainikjagran.com, downloaded the font and copied it to .fonts folder in my home directory. then i restarted firefox. the site didn't work. however, when i made a test html page and used Jagran as the font face it worked without problems. it seems the issue is with the website as if you look at the HTML they're using something called pfr. i'm not sure what it is, maybe it downloads the font from the internet and is viewable only on the internet explorer. as for the font installation, the simplest is to create a .fonts folder in the home directory, copy all the required fonts in that directory and you're done. but you'll need to repeat this process for all users. hence i suggested to put everything in /etc/fonts and make a symlink of /etc/fonts to .fonts. this is using gnome 2.x series only and right now it works without a hitch on my ubuntu hoary and breezy. o--------------------------------------------------o | vivek * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://exain.net | | Registered Linux User: #305493 | o--------------------------------------------------o _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
