Hi,

What exactly is necessary to make a font visible to Revolution in Linux, in terms of format and installation? I want to use my own Arabic, Hebrew and Thai fonts on Linux.

I posted the following bug report about this:

User-installed fonts or special* fonts are not recognised by Revolution on
Linux.

Install this font
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/render_download.php?site_id=nrsi&format=file&media_id=EzraSIL251.deb&filename=ttf-sil-ezra_2.51-2_all.deb

Or install any other font manually in /usr/shared/fonts/truetype/ fontname and
run sudo fc-cache -f -v in the terminal. All fonts are found by all
applications except Revolution.

*) I'm not sure what is special about the fonts. Maybe it is indeed because they are installed by the user, maybe Revolution has a built-in list with recognised fonts on Linux and my fonts are not included, maybe the problem is that I'm using unicode fonts, perhaps the problem is only that the name of the font is in UTF8 format. Fact is, the fonts work correctly with Revolution on every platform except Linux and they work with every application in Linux
except Revolution.

You can find this report here: <<http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=7479 >.

Of course, I don't really think that there is a built-in font list, but then again I consider anything possible.
