I tried solving one font problem and ended up with a new one. Running Linux Mint (current edition), dual-booted with Windows XP, I wanted to import fonts from Windows; the lack of some comparable fonts are a bar to some of the desktop publishing I do. So I copied the fonts directory in XP (that is, windows/fonts) over to a memory stick, thence to the Linux side of the machine at usr/share/fonts. New fonts did show up (though not all, a couple I hoped for did not materialize) in the Open Office docs I opened.
But, when I went to use Firefox and Galeon, no text of any sort showed up in the browser window - only web wage images and design. The problem doesn't seem to extend to other programs - the Tomboy notes program, for example, seems to operate as normal. I suppose (I hope) I can reverse this by deleting the fonts directory I just copied over. But I'm wondering if there's a way to get the fonts to work in all of these places. Or is there something about what I did that would cause the installation to work in OO but not in the browsers?
