I would like to write aliases for all the Adobe standard fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier ...) which I don't have on my system to their URW counterparts (Nimbus* ). I'd like these aliases to appear in the list of available fonts, in order to be selectable in KDE, OpenOffice etc. I added this to /etc/fonts/fonts.config but with no effect: <alias> <family>Times</family> <accept><family>Nimbus Roman No9 L</family></accept> </alias> <alias> <family>Helvetica</family> <accept><family>Nimbus Sans L</family></accept> </alias> <alias> <family>Courier</family> <accept><family>Nimbus Mono L</family></accept> </alias> Am I missing something? thanks Radu
