Is the number of fonts reported when you run the above, the correct number of fonts in the directory?

There are fewer files in /usr/local/share/fonts than FontConfig reports. I was assuming this was due to Bold/Italic variants within single font files...


You have to count all of them. It should find the same number as are listed in the Fontmap file for that directory.

And, I have to report that Qt-3.3.1 doesn't seem to like that font. I installed by hand and it didn't work in KWord, and does not work in the KDE font selector widget. Is it possible that the font is Microsoft only -- Qt uses the Mac TrueType header.

Interesting. I got the fonts on a webpage collection of free fonts; I would not be suprised if they were designed for Windows use. However, *all* of these fonts work perfectly under KDE-3.2-rc1/Qt-3.2.1. Does this mean there is a regression bug in the font handling code in Qt-3.3.1? Is this a known problem?


I also find it interesting that when I point konqueror-3.2.1 to "fonts:/System/", it can preview all of these fonts perfectly. The Font Install KCM can also.

About all I can tell you is that it doesn't quite work correctly. The details seem to change with each release of Qt. It is possible that there have been some regressions. I have had problems under previous versions and I think that things are working a little better. I don't think that FontConfig works 100% either. One or the other can't seem to find all of my Helvetica faces (narrow and condensed have gone missing -- they used to work).
