From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827 Description of problem: with the kdebase that came with null iso's I tried to add true type fonts manually first and then using kde fonts installer. both appears successful and "xlsfonts | less" would show the new installed fonts, but KDE wont!! I upgraded kdebase to kdebase 3.0.3-5 from rawhide and this one doesnt even have kde fonts installer anymore and it still wouldnt show the true type fonts I added with the ttmkfdir and mkfontdir. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.kde fonts installer 2.add true type fonts 3.restart kde Actual Results: no true type fonts shows in kde list of fonts Expected Results: true type fonts to appear in the list Additional info:
Modify your /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to include the path of the truetype-fonts and restart KDE. That did it for me.
This bug is reported against old release of Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core that is no longer supported. Chances are that it has been already fixed in newer Fedora Core release. If you still experience the problem with current release of Fedora Core, please update the Version field (you may need to switch Product to Fedora Core first) in the bug report and put it back to NEW state.
Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. If this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release, please open a new bug with the relevant information. Closing as CANTFIX.
