Hi,
I'm using drakfont to examine the fonts that I have available to me. If I
click on "Get Windows fonts", it complains that there's no Windows
partition on my machine - which, strictly speaking, is true. It tells me
to use 'Add fonts" instead. Now, I *do* have a Windows 98 machine running
on my little home network here, and its C: drive is mounted on the Linux
machine as /mnt/c. I can cd to /mnt/c/windows/fonts just fine and look at
the files, etc. However, if I use "Add fonts" and work my way over to that
directory, any font file that I try to click on doesn't get selected, and
if I manually type the font file name into the "Selection:" box and click
ok, I get an error message. It doesn't bother to tell me what the problem
is, it just say "Error while opening '/mnt/c/WINDOWS/FONTS/arial.tif' (as
an example).
So, two questions here: One, is there any way that I can fool drakfont
into using /mnt/c/windows/fonts as a Windows Font directory, so that "Get
Windows fonts" will work? And two, is there any way to clear up whatever
the error is when I try to select a font manually?
