The installer will configure X (X.org, XFree86), XRender, +(anti-aliasing), fontconfig, and Ghostscript (printing), +for any TrueType +(.ttf) and Type1 (.pfa, .pfb) fonts that you care to install - +bitmap (.bdf, .pcf) fonts will also be installed, but +these can only used by X. + +When the module is started by a normal (non-root) user, then the +settings will refer to their personal configuration, and installed +fonts will be available to them only. For root, the settings will usually refer to +the system-wide configuration, and as such any installed fonts should +be available to all users. +If you install fonts as a normal user and notice the fonts used for +display (and for print preview) do not match those of the printed output +- then you should re-install the fonts system-wide (i.e. as root). This can occur because when printing +the output is sent to a printer queue - and when the system comes to actually +send the information to the printer, it is running as a different user (usually +lp), and cannot find the font files. +To install fonts, simply select the "Add Fonts" button - this will +produce a file dialog, then just locate the fonts to install. Likewise, to +remove a font, simply highlight a font and press the "Delete" button. + +Using Konqueror +You can also use Konqueror to install fonts via drag-and-drop. +To do this just type fonts:/ into Konqueror's Location bar. +As a normal (non-root) user, this will produce 2 top-level folders: + + +Personal - this will display your personal fonts. + + +System - this will display the system wide fonts. If you drag-n-drop a font +on to the folders here, you will be asked for the root password in order +to install the font. + + +If you drop a font over fonts:/, then you will be asked whether this +should go into "Personal", or "System". +As root, just the contents of the system font folder will be displayed +- as root does not have any "personal" fonts. + + +
