Hello Richmond,
I tested to use all installed fonts on Ubuntu 10.04 with rev. No problem.
With
set the textfont of fld "/field/" to "/fontname/"
I can use all available fonts.
Only the function fontnames() does not return all the fonts.
But you can get a list of fontnames with
put shell("fc-list") into tTempFontsList
set the itemdel to ":"
repeat for each line tL in tTempFontsList
set the itemdel to ":"
put item 1 of tL into tL2
set the itemdel to ","
put item 1 of tL2 & cr after tFontsList
end repeat
delete char -1 of tFontsList
If you want to install a user font then copy it into
/home/<user>/.fonts/truetype/
and in console type:
> sudo fc-cache
Now you can use that font with rev.

Linux fonts]

1. open a .ttf font with FontViewer
2. click on 'Install Font' button ; 'Install Failed'
Q1. Is that because I am not root user?
3. attempt to open FontViewer as root:
got "distracted" by Font Manager /usr/bin
click on 'Manage Fonts' blob at the bottom
navigate to where target font is installed
on selecting font Font Manager opens and "blow me down"
it seems the font has been installed as a system font:
4. Open RunRev: and the target font DOESN'T show up . . . um, mumble,
mumble, excrement, and so on.
5. AbiWord (what my sons call "Shabby Word" - never mind, it will
suffice for now):
font (Unicode TTF) shows up.
Q2. Could this be because my target font does not have an accompanying
.conf file ????
