as Ms. Poppins once said, "start at the very beginning" you might want to check the one I wrote a while ago: http://www.skrzyp.prv.pl/gnome2_fonts_HOWTO.html it's a little bit outta date (microsoft issue), but it could be a start... looks good, for a starting point. It'd be nice to be able to generalise to non-gnome windowing environments as well... (also, what are the licenses like on the M$ fonts?) Eric - Have fun ;-) If you *really* cant do this, please tell me, and I will assign it to someone else. //ZhEN Go at this one - Happy Hacking, //ZhEN Any progress or changes? Maybe posters to http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=4825&highlight=font can be involved in writing? Hi all, I'm the author of a X.org fonts HOWTO, which you can find at this link http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts. I was contacted to make a proper HOWTO for Gentoo. If you want, I can. That is, I can transfer my HOWTO into a Gentoo HOWTO, but my trouble is that it is only a way to make fonts work almost certainly, because it is based on my tryings and I'm not sure that this will work in every case. So just tell me if this is ok, I'll be happy to make it a HOWTO for gentoo.org. Cheers, solka |
