G'day list,
I'm having trouble with some of the fonts on my Gentoo system. Here's what's happening; when I look at the list of fonts I can use in Mozilla Firebird, I see everything that's installed -- Luxi Sans, Roostheavy, Dragonwick, etc. When I look at the fonts available in OpenOffice, I see less; Luxi Sans is there, Roosheavy and Dragonwick are not. In GIMP, where I actually want a large selection of fonts, I see neither; only a short list is available. Can anyone suggest a way to make these apps see the full list of available fonts?
If you're feeling adventurous, you could give gimp-1.3 and openoffice- 1.1rc3 a whirl. Both of these fix the font issues encountered with previous versions.
Gimp 1.3 is the 'unstable development branch', but I've had fewer headaches since using it than with the stable ones.
Openoffice 1.1 simply rocks, but is still in the release candidate stages (not-quite-but-very-close-to-stable-release). If you're overly adventurous, grab the ebuild with ximian patches from breakmygentoo, it's what I'm using right now for school.
