Right according to the manual from this link ( http://cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_14.html ) You'll have to use the terminal to run a separate application called ttmkfdir or something else that generates fonts.dir files. If you look into /usr/lib/cinelerra/fonts/ you ought to see Cinelerra's fonts.dir file that it uses.
I'll just use a simple example, I download a Truetype Font called JaneAust.ttf and move it to the Cinelerra font folder. In that directory I run ttmkfdir which produces a file called fonts.scale. I open up that file and get something like this if I didn't have the other fonts in the same directory: > JaneAust.ttf -misc-JaneAusten-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0 > JaneAust.ttf -misc-JaneAusten-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1 > JaneAust.ttf -misc-JaneAusten-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-10 Just as long as the font is not only in the same directory but is also mentioned in the fonts.dir file with this information it should work fine. Finally just type in "mv fonts.scale fonts.dir" to update Cinelerras font configuration. Hope this helps Jan
