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.

Mrglass

Did you try this?

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.

Mrglass

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

Truetype?

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

I understand if you no longer want to help!

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.

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

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

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.
