Fonts
 

Ok...I searched first, but couldn't find anything directly connected to what I require so here goes:

I saw on the "screenshots" thread that somebody had the LargeStatusBarClock in a nice red LCD font. I found the fonts selection in the options but alas - the LCD font aint there.

Obviously I can find it online along with many others - but how do I stick it onto my tablet? I have a N810 by the way.

Are certain fonts not supported? True-type etc etc?

Thanks for your help - this forum is awesome for learning new stuff.

Re: Fonts
 

Did you try this?

Re: Fonts
 

I think you need to run fc-cache after copying the fonts in...

Thanks for your help -

Does 0s2008 only support Unicode?
I'm relatively new to Linux, sorry if this is dumb.

Re: Fonts
 

Does OS2008 "only support Unicode?" Could you explain what alternatives you're considering?

Re: Fonts
 

Truetype?

Or am I getting confused here.
Is TT a type or Unicode?

I understand if you no longer want to help!

Re: Fonts
 

Unicode is a character encoding (actually, it's a codespace used in a family of character encodings; that's what clued me in that you weren't asking quite what you meant to ask...), TrueType is a font format; alternatives include Type 1 and OpenType.

It works just fine with TT. :D

Re: Fonts
 

So to recap:
-----
From xterm create a directory in your home called '.fonts':
Code:

$ mkdir ~/.fonts

And copy your font(s) there. They should be available for use immediately.
----
I put my Unicode or TT fonts in this new directory, run "fc-cache" after that and i'm good to go?

Thank you

Re: Fonts
 

I think so; it was a while since I've done it, but just try it and see if it works.

Re: Fonts
 

Hi....I got the directory made...put the "LED.ttf" file in there and ran fc-cache....but still can't see the font in any program.

I read Linux doesn't "do" file extensions...should I rename my font to just "LED"?

Good way to learn the Xterm commands....
I found:
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand...._the_shell.php
..to be very useful for learning navigation, manipulation commands from scratch.

Anyway....any suggestions?
Thanks.
