Turns out that Mozilla and a bunch of other GNOME/GTK2 apps use fonts that are configured via some fontconfig. (I don't know much about it.) fc-list reports fonts that are available through fontconfig. Ensure that the path where you installed the fonts are listed in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf Also, KDE apps take fonts from ~/.kde/share/fonts I wish someone could elaborate on the mystery of fonts. ------------------------------------------------------------------ | I keep on working for the same reason a hen keeps on laying eggs.| ------------------------------------------------------------------
