I used to have this problem on Debian Lenny on versions before 3.0. Revolution, and only Rev, would simply fail to see most of the installed fonts. Most means it would see 10 or 15 out of a couple of hundred. There was also a problem that even in the ten or so fonts it could see, it would not use sizes outside certain ranges. If for instance you selected Arial, a font it would use, in a size greater than about 24 (don't recall the exact size any more) it would revert to 10 (or something similarly small). Rev never seems to have been able to reproduce this, and now, without them apparently having done anything, in 3.0 all the fonts seem to be visible AND you can take any size you want. I haven't done an exhaustive check of all installed fonts, but this is my impression based on a few spot checks of fairly obscure ones. On Mandriva 2008 all the fonts displayed properly in all sizes all along. I never figured out why.
There is still an issue, which is probably a Linux problem and not a rev problem, that the proportions of the fonts and the other elements are not preserved across distributions. On Mandriva, for instance, a label may not exactly fit into a box which it does fit into in Debian. You just have to check, or if unable to check, allow generous spacing around text elements. What is the distribution, and how are you installing them? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Unicode-font-installation-on-Linux-tp20647531p20656133.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
