<title>Font Installer</title>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>This module is responsible for installing (and uninstalling)
|
||
|
|
fonts. The installer will configure X (X.org, XFree86), XRender,
|
||
|
|
(anti-aliasing), fontconfig, and <application>Ghostscript</application> (printing),
|
||
|
|
for any TrueType
|
||
|
|
(<literal role="extension">.ttf</literal>) and Type1 (<literal
|
||
|
|
role="extension">.pfa</literal>, <literal
|
||
|
|
role="extension">.pfb</literal>) fonts that you care to install -
|
||
|
|
bitmap (<literal role="extension">.bdf</literal>, <literal
|
||
|
|
role="extension">.pcf</literal>) fonts will also be installed, but
|
||
|
|
these can only used by X.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>When the module is started by a normal (non-root) user, then the
|
||
|
|
settings will refer to their personal configuration, and installed
|
||
|
|
fonts will be available to them only. For <systemitem
|
||
|
|
class="username">root</systemitem>, the settings will usually refer to
|
||
|
|
the system-wide configuration, and as such any installed fonts should
|
||
|
|
be available to all users.</para>
|
||
|
|
<para>If you install fonts as a normal user and notice the fonts used for
|
||
|
|
display (and for print preview) do not match those of the printed output
|
||
|
|
- then you should re-install the fonts system-wide (i.e. as <systemitem
|
||
|
|
class="username">root</systemitem>). This can occur because when printing
|
||
|
|
the output is sent to a printer queue - and when the system comes to actually
|
||
|
|
send the information to the printer, it is running as a different user (usually
|
||
|
|
<systemitem class="username">lp</systemitem>), and cannot find the font files.</para>
|
||
|
|
<para>To install fonts, simply select the "Add Fonts" button - this will
|
||
|
|
produce a file dialog, then just locate the fonts to install. Likewise, to
|
||
|
|
remove a font, simply highlight a font and press the "Delete" button.</para>

<title>Using Konqueror</title>
|
||
|
|
<para>You can also use Konqueror to install fonts via drag-and-drop.
|
||
|
|
To do this just type <ulink url="fonts:/">fonts:/</ulink> into Konqueror's Location bar.</para>
|
||
|
|
<para>As a normal (non-root) user, this will produce 2 top-level folders:</para>
|
||
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
||
|
|
<listitem>
|
||
|
|
<para><ulink url="fonts:/Personal">Personal</ulink> - this will display your personal fonts.</para>
|
||
|
|
</listitem>
|
||
|
|
<listitem>
|
||
|
|
<para><ulink url="fonts:/System">System</ulink> - this will display the system wide fonts. If you drag-n-drop a font
|
||
|
|
on to the folders here, you will be asked for the root password in order
|
||
|
|
to install the font.</para>
|
||
|
|
</listitem>
|
||
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
||
|
|
<para>If you drop a font over <ulink url="fonts:/">fonts:/</ulink>, then you will be asked whether this
|
||
|
|
should go into "Personal", or "System".</para>
|
||
|
|
<para>As root, just the contents of the system font folder will be displayed
|
||
|
|
- as root does not have any "personal" fonts.</para>
