Thanks Pierre, I'm currently using the "Feisty" version of Edubuntu so that's probably why the packages are not showing up. Thanks for the additional information also. Linux seems to handle fonts a lot better than Windows or Macintoshes memory wise, so loading up all of our fonts centrally on our LTSP server seems like the best way to go to make them available to all applications.
Speaking of which, does anyone know where the best location is to save the fonts so they are available to all applications? Currently I have them saved to /usr/shared/fonts/opentype but only Scribus seems to be able to be configured to see them and/or use them. Are OpenType fonts not supported by all Linux apps? We use Gnome as the default window manager if that helps answer the question. Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi Tim, Oleksandr Moskalenko, who provides packages of Scribus for Debian and Ubuntu has added Fontmatrix to his repository, as part of the tools that can be usefull for Scribus users. So explanations given here for Scribus are good for Fontmatrix too (you just need to replace "feisty" by "gutsy") - http://www.scribus.net/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=4&page=1 Note that Fontmatrix is very, very, very young and features are added almost each day since now. If you're many to use it, you might want to let someone keep in sync with svn trunk and report if what you need is not yet here. -- Pierre Marchand http://www.oep-h.com _______________________________________________ Undertype-users mailing list Undertype-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/undertype-users _______________________________________________ Undertype-users mailing list Undertype-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/undertype-users
