It works fine for me. > from perlftlib. drakfont will do this for you if perlftlib is installed, Hm, I have perlftplib installed and thus mkttfdir is available, however it doesn't seem to be run. Or at least I don't get the expected results. I downloaded the Microsoft Core Fonts from the Microsoft site (Comic Sans, Verdana and such) and extracted. Next I copied all the TTFs to one directory and changed their names to all lower case. I then started drakfont and add the directory containing all the ttfs to the list of to be installed "files". I then clicked on Add and on Okay in the next screen. Then drakfont does it thing. It copies all the files to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf and creates a 0 byte fonts.dir file. WHen I then start gfontsel, I only see one encoding of Verdana, and not all the encodings (like iso-8859-15, -10, ...). Further, the font is of foundry "unknown". Also running mkttfdir by hand only produces a fonts.dir file with one encoding: iso-8859-1. But when I cd to the ttf font directory and run "ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale ; mkfontdir ; service xfs restart ; gfontsel", I'll see the fonts with the correct foundry and in all the encodings. So, to sum up - drakfont doesn't work well. > but it isn't installed by default. Also, there was one other problem Dunno about perlftlib, but freetype-tools isn't installed by default, yes. And I think this is also an error. But you seem to be right, I can remove perlftlib without any errors.
