While we are at it (i.e., discussion about fonts), I seem to vaguely remember that there was a font installation tool in Red Hat 7.3 (through KDE, I believe). But now I don't seem to be able to find it in 8.0. Does anyone know how to do that in Red Hat 8.0?
I think you should be able to copy the fonts to /usr/share/fonts or to ~/.fonts Any fontconfig enabled programs will have access to them then. For programs not using fontconfig yet, you will have to install freetype-utils, create a directory somewhere, put your fonts in that directory, run ttmkfdir > fonts.dir, add the relevant line to your XFree86 config file, and then restart X (or xset +fp the directory). I don't know of any graphical utilities for installing fonts, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is one.
