Solved it myself: Just in case someone has similar problems here is the solution.
It was OpenOffice itself that was the problem. It could display any Truetype font but could not print them correctly. I think my mistake was in using ./spadmin to import my TT fonts into OpenOffice before using drakfont to import the same fonts into the system. Reinstalling OO fixed it, and all the TT fonts known to drakfont were immediately available to OO without having to use ./spadmin Grrr I spent 8 hours tracking that one down, and it all started when I could not get kdeprintfax to send a fax.... Oh well, I've learned a lot about Ghostscript and X Font servers... derek On Monday 15 April 2002 3:18 pm, Derek Jennings wrote: > Has anyone had any success printing Documents with fonts imported from > Windows with 8.2? > > Here is my scenario :- > drakfont used to import fonts from Windows - No problem.
