First of all, sorry for the heavy cross-posting, I'm just in over my head here. May somebody more versed in font matters than I am please take over this one. I'm running 8.1 beta4, upgraded to cooker tonight from sunet.
I've used drakfont to import my windows fonts. After I have imported them, they all show up in drakfont without any problems. They show up in the KDE font selection dialogs when not using AA. They don't show up in the KDE font selection dialogs when I'm using AA. [Configuration->LookNFeel->Fonts] They are half-way visible in OpenOffice, and browsing the fonts from the OO toolbar causes it to crash with a segmentation fault. Here are 2 screenshots I took of the KDE font selection dialogs and one of the OO font selection pull-down menu. Half of the OO pull-down menu is empty. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/snapshot_kde_AA.png http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/snapshot_kde_noAA.png http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/snapshot_ooffice.png Can anyone reproduce this? I tried to copy my 8.1 drakfont directory to the 8.2 drakfont/ttf directory and restart xfs, but it had no effect. All these fonts work for me in 8.1 when using AA in KDE, so this really bugs me. We're talking about fonts such as Verdana, Times New Roman, Arial Unicode, Bitstream Cyberbit that are not accessible in AA in KDE or in OpenOffice.org, all very important for various reasons such as aesthetics or language support. Feel free to ask me further questions, although font setup is really not my strong side. Believe me, I would have supplied a patch for this one if I could have :-) Best, Narfi.
