For that you need: 1. to ensure that the path were your scalable fonts are is listed in a "dir" keyword in /etc/X11/XftConfig (the directory "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/" isn't listed by default; I suggest you use instead for your manually added fonts "/opt/ttfonts" or you can also create a user specific $HOME/.xftconfig file with a line dir "/path/to/where/your/fonts/are/" in it. 2. to ensure that there is an XftCache file in that directory; go to it and run " xftcache . " That's it, now your new fonts are accessible by Xft-aware programs; RvS> It does show other fonts listed in drakfont. Fonts added trough drakfont are visible because the directory where drakfont puts them is listed in the default XftConfig file. RvS> ...Lucida TTF fonts from the J2SDK... Where are the J2SDK files installed ? The XftConfig file has the two following lines: # Sun JDK fonts dir "/usr/java/jdk1.3/jre/lib/fonts" dir "/usr/java/j2re1.4.0/lib/fonts" should other paths be added too ? -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga On n'est point l'ami d'une femme quand on peut être son amant.
