Hello Richmond,

I am pleased to have helped you (is that good english?)

If you don't want that the user have to use fc-cache, you can give an information, that it is necessary to restart the graphical user interface (gnome or kde or...) after the installation of your program. A fc-cache is done automatically when the gui is restarted.

Regards
Wolfgang

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.

Thanks Wolfgang! I just tried your recipe and it really solves all my problems
(and I hope that Peter will feel that this is a suitable 'stop gap').

My only grumble is that I have to expect end-users to be proficient with
the terminal for sudo fc-cache. Unfortunately, as every end user has adifferent
password there is no way to build this into a stack.
