Hi All
Well thanks for the suggestion and I'll be looking at them all later.
Last night I found an 'Old English' font for free so thought I'd try
it. Download went OK but trying to 'see' it after installing did not
work, yes it was there nut not showing any programmes or front viewer.
Hi Clive,

You'll probably find creating a ~/.fonts directory and putting the
foo.ttf, etc., in there also works allowing a user to look after their
own additional fonts.
Cheers, Ralph.

See
Simon, Ralph, Peter:
Thanks for your replies.
I'd done quite a lot of investigating Pi projects, but almost all rely
on a smart phone app; since I have no mobile reception here in the Bride
Valley (yet?), those are out. Peter: your Simon O'Riordan link looked
promising, but I had no luck
To Peter Merchant:
Don't know if it's particularly relevant to your OS, but there's been
quite a lot of chatter about Kaffeine on
alt.os.linux.mageia - 2 threads starting 6 June and 23 June.
