Works here... What TT fonts are you using? I'm using Windows 98 fonts. Maybe there's a permission problem? I will check this tonight. Checked and changed permissions on the .ttf files to '444'. No difference, still get 'Aborted' when I try to run ttmkfdir. Note that this worked in my previous RH installation. When I installed 7.1 I backed up the fonts then reinstalled after. Assigning to freetype, which contains ttmkfdir. ttfonts is our collection of free TrueType fonts; ttmkfdir works perfectly with those. I do not have any fonts with which to test this and reproduce the problem. Microsoft fonts are copyrighted, so I can't ask you to send them to me in a tar.gz'd file via email so that I can try to reproduce the situation as that would violate the Microsoft EULA licensing agreement I am sure. ;o) The above comment by the way was a very lame attempt at a sense of humor. ;o) It appears nobody took it that way.. Oh well, it was lame. ;o) At any rate... I have just taken the fonts from a Windows 98SE installation, copied them into a dir /tmp/ttfonts, and then went in that dir and ran: ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale The program works exactly as expected. |
