Im using gimp, decided I wanted true type support so did the following ....
installed xfstt copy ttf fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ directory /etc/init.d/xfstt force-reload It counts the correct number of fonts, all ok so far modified the /etc/X11/XF86config-4 file, adding FontPath "unix/:7101" re-booted X server, no new fonts re-booted system xlsfonts | grep ttf lists all the fonts Fonts appear in gimp menus, all work AOK Its the re-booting the system bit .... Every time i add *.ttf fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/, I xfstt force-reload, it counts the correct number including the new ones, HOWEVER xlsfonts | grep ttf, and gimp only see the old ones till I do a complete re-boot. I dont think I should need to completely re-boot the system, after all this is not windows !!, so I guess I am doing something wrong. My pet theory is I need to get the X server to re-interigate my font servers, and it only does this on bootup to see what fonts are avalible ?
