So what I did: 0) create /etc/X11/fontpath.d (as root) 1) inside /etc/X11/fontpath.d: ln -s /home/n7dr/.fonts home-n7dr-.fonts (as root) Restarted X (actually, rebooted) > 2) copy/link font folder to /usr/share/fonts , restart X 2) Inside /usr/share/fonts: ln -s /home/n7dr/.fonts home-n7dr-.fonts (as root) Restarted X (actually, rebooted) > 3) copy font folder to ~/.fonts then do fc-cache -rv and check output > for line like '/home/n7dr/.fonts/n7dr: caching, new cache contents: 33 > fonts, 0 dirs' A bit unsure about this, since the font folder *is* ~/.fonts, so I think I just skip the step "copy font folder to ~/.fonts". So I executed "fc-cache -rv" (as root) and the line you suggest actually says: /home/n7dr/.fonts: caching, new cache contents: 2 fonts, 0 dirs So there are two differences: 1. It says "/home/n7dr/.fonts", not "/home/n7dr/.fonts/n7dr" (perhaps that was a typo on your part, since there is no directory /home/n7dr/.font/n7dr) 2. It says "2 fonts" not "33 fonts" Executing xlsfonts (as ordinary user) still does not list the fonts as available to me. I did not at any point change the contents of /home/n7dr/.fonts, so it still looks like this: total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 n7dr users 4096 Apr 23 17:12 . drwx------ 34 n7dr users 4096 Apr 25 12:14 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 n7dr users 39 Apr 22 17:08 CourierNewPSMTN7DR.ttf -> /home/n7dr/fonts/CourierNewPSMTN7DR.ttf -rwxrwxrwx 1 n7dr users 2896 Apr 23 17:13 fonts.dir -rwxrwxrwx 1 n7dr users 2896 Apr 23 17:12 fonts.scale lrwxrwxrwx 1 n7dr users 34 Apr 22 17:08 N7DR_SFTT1000.afm -> /home/n7dr/fonts/N7DR_SFTT1000.afm lrwxrwxrwx 1 n7dr users 34 Apr 22 17:08 N7DR_SFTT1000.pfb -> /home/n7dr/fonts/N7DR_SFTT1000.pfb Sorry about the wrapping in that output; Thunderbird no longer seems to support changing the wrap column for anindividual e-mail :-( Doc -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
