Yes, I tried that fc-cache command and it gave the locations of where fonts are stored/installed.
Let me do some more reading! Thanks again. -Roberto From: mehdi houshmand [mailto:med1...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 3:25 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: Fonts not found in Red Hat Linux Sorry, I should also point out that typing the command "fc-cache -v" should give you a list of where fonts exist on the system (I don't have a RHEL system to try it on, but I'm pretty sure this works across linux.) Use the man pages (type "man" followed by the command) and it'll give you the documentation of a command.

The synaptic manager is an Ubuntu (maybe Debian) application for managing apt (the package installation manager), RHEL's apt-equivalent is Yum, though I don't know whether it has an equivalent GUI (synaptic manager). Depending on what you're trying to do, I'd suggest (especially if you're using custom fonts) you configure those fonts manually[2] rather than using auto-detect, it'll probably save you some hassle later down the line. Configuring the fonts manually gives you much better control over the fonts/font-names and makes debugging and font related issues much easier.

Thanks for responding. I am a total Linux newbie. The only thing I know is the regular commands to change directory, etc. I found out online how to find the version. We are using: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago) I don't know how to start the config manager. Let me look online to see how I can run this config manager. -Roberto From: Rob Sargent [mailto:rsarg...@xmission.com<mailto:rsarg...@xmission.com>] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 2:31 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org<mailto:fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org> Subject: Re: Fonts not found in Red Hat Linux Welcome to linux. Start the config manager (synaptic maybe, you don't save which flavor) and look for "msfont" On 07/18/2012 12:27 PM, Roberto Cahanap wrote: Hello, We were working in a Windows Server environment but now we have to port our application to Linux. We are getting a font not found warning when we generate the PDF. We have the config for FOP to auto-detect, and this was working fine in Windows. Our Linux admin installed the fonts in the following directory: /usr/share/fonts What can we do to fix this issue? Thanks for your replies.
