Hello, I am posting from knode via Gmane, I hope this gets to the list. I am the (slow) developer of Fonty Python and I am trying to get two things done that, so far, I have not had any luck with. I hope someone on this list can point me in the right direction. Situation: O/S - Kubuntu Dapper. Number of fonts (estimate) visible to fontconfig - 600. When I want to use an app like Inkscape or Gimp, the number of fonts that appear in the choosers is overwhelming. I want to learn how to cut them down - how to "uninstall" or "remove" them without actually removing the font files from the drive. 1. How can I remove a single font that is listed? Let's pick on URWGothicL-Book - so that it does not appear in Inkscape or Gimp. 2. How can I then, within ~/.fonts, install URWGothicL-Book again? I chose it because it's a Type1 font. I am currently trying to include those in Fonty Python. (I want a way that I can make link(s) to the font file(s) (pfg, afm, pfm) within ~/.fonts such that the font is available in Inkscape (and other choosers -- without the need for root login/su/sudo). If there is another technique, bring it on. I gotta grok it before I can Python it. Aim: I want to create a "font zapper" of some kind so that people who want to manage their fonts can clear-up the chaos of system-wide fonts. I am picturing a list of check-boxes and those that get ticked are visible to fontconfig (listed in a font.cache-1 file, I guess) and those that are not are *not* deleted, just sitting unnoticed by fontconfig. This way, if a vital system font has been 'cleared' by mistake, the user can pretty quickly re-tick it. If anyone can help me out that would be great. Donn. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
