Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for your reply. The problem is not, however, that
fonts aren't displayed correctly. Well, actually, some of the fonts
that are installed in the original Linux distribution are displayed
incorrectly, but that's not my main point here. I want to know what my
own fonts look like in Revolution while running in Linux, but I can't
get them recognised by Revolution.
I believe I'm using Ubunty 6.7. I will be upgrading to 8 very soon.
You can read in my previous post how I installed the fonts.

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?
