From what I have seen you have to specify the font path. So if your font is at /usr/fontlibrary/fonts (as an example - mine don't live there), then you have to say "/usr/fontlibrary/fonts/arial.ttf" (as an example).
Where your fonts are depends on the system setup, etc. YMMV as they say. Cheers, Lloyd On Friday 03 November 2006 03:51, Aries.chang wrote: > Sorry.
