I am not sure this list is still active, but I am cross-posting here hoping someone here can shed some light on this... I have just confirmed (accessing file:/// on Nautilus) that the problem happens only with GTK 1.x -- at least Verdana font (and the other MS TTF) has been displayed just fine.

I have gone through the instructions here [http://www.rockhopper.dk/linux/software/fonts-in-xfree.html], but I can't seem to be able to enable Windows TTF. The very same procedure works flawlessly on FC1. All steps seem to succeed, all proper files seem to be on the right place etc. 'xlsfonts' lists windows fonts without complaints. However, fonts appear ugly, as you can see by these screenshots from Sylpheed: http://gwpr03.microlink.com.br/~acosta/Sylpheed-FC1.png http://gwpr03.microlink.com.br/~acosta/Sylpheed-FC2.png First one is how it looks on FC1 (I took it from my computer at work, but it was working like that on my home computer as well). I am using Verdana font, and it looks just like it should. Second one shows how it is appearing on FC2 -- this font is definitely not Verdana. Sylpheed is configured to use this font on both versions: -microsoft-verdana-medium-r-normal-*-*-90-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 I am running Xorg at 100x100dpi, using nvidia drivers. /etc/X11/fs/config has: [...] catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo, /usr/share/fonts/ttf, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Windows, /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1, /usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts/truetype # in 12 points, decipoints default-point-size = 120 # 100 x 100 and 75 x 75 #default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100 default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75 [...] fonts.scale and fonts.dir have been created on /usr/share/fonts/ttf with: ttmkfdir > fonts.scale mkfontdir I can't see what's wrong... any specific Xorg procedure I should do? Anyone else can confirm successfully enabling MS fonts on FC2? (please note: I would like to do it for both GTK 1.x and GTK2).
