Hi again back from lurker limbo to ask another question
where i can found font for dsl? how to install? (i need it for a gtk-based app and need to be monospaced)
i found a package tar.gz with font on package list of dsl (not remember the url, but is the same page where i download all dsl package) but they don't work... i did all info said (extracted then add a xset row on .xinitrc pointing at those font) but abiword does'nt show it... and more important, app does'nt load it
only monospaced one is a little... ugly >_< remind me of courier (non new)
so, where i can found font for dsl? how can i install? can i install font from other linux distro (like centos or fedora) into dsl? how? ty for help Unix isn't like Windows where every application integrates with what's available on the system. The problem you're having with Abiword isn't one solved by adding an xset +fp line to xinitrc. It requires a little more work. You can find help for specific applications on their own sites. For example: http://www.abisource.com/help....emoving- wrong section - you could try to copy the font you want from your other machine, assuming it is a supported type

Really? just copying from another machine into dsl? where? btw, i found a nice article here http://damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-26-18569-0.html and this could give me some hope to solve this problem If you'd bothered to read the link I provided, you'd see that you don't have to go through all those machinations just to use TTFs in Abiword.Next Page...
