Debian Linux 3 Have installed msttcorefonts. Now need to actually out the font files themselves somewhere. Couldn't download form MS who have stopped giving them away, but got the files from another site. They are .exe files so are for a PC obviously. Evidently I need to have them in a form that Linux will use. Now, I have a PC box so I guess I've got the files as Truetype font files there somewhere an possible didn't need to download them?? Do I... just copy whatever Truetype font files from the PC onto a CD or whatever and then copy them into a /etc/fonts/truetype (I'd need to create the directory /truetype (would I?) then run msttcorefonts and they'll then be available? Or... does Linux do something funky with the .exe files I downloaded? -- Slainte Marten Gallagher annerykiln.co.uk Web Design and Management www.annerykiln.co.uk
i just put the .exe's in a directory (~/corefont) , then when the mstcorefonts installation ran it asked whether i had already downloaded them, or if it needed to download them for me. i gave it the name of the above directory and let it do its thing ! hope this helps dave morgan -- http://www.eclipse.co.uk/morgad/index.html UKRA#1243 SWARM#0029 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
