I've installed a few of the PD/SW fonts from the archives -- or should I say I've tried to install them. I've tried the various things recommended over the net in the last few days, but with only limited success. As root, I placed them in /LocalApps/Fonts, then ran buildafmdir and cacheAFMData on that directory. All the fonts appeared in the font panel and seemed to work (ie would preview) when I tried as root. After logging out and then back in as a regular user, all the fonts were still in the font panel, but most (not all) were marked unusable. (This is still 2.1, BTW, and I have far less than 255 fonts; more like 12). Any ideas/suggestions? In any case, as I said before, this rigmarole you have to go through to install fonts (even if it worked, which it doesn't seem to) is what I expect from Windoze, not from NeXT. -- - Stefano Pagiola Food Research Institute, Stanford University spagiola@frinext.stanford.edu (NeXTMail encouraged) spagiola@FRI-nxt-Pagiola.stanford.edu (NeXTMail encouraged)
