I want to install another fonts into my dsl system. Specially "Arial" font to my applications (made in kylix). Exists a font dsl extension?

Somebody can help me?

Thanks!

I don't think DSL has support for truetype fonts. You'd need to install whatever files are necessary for that (anyone know?), or convert the font to a standard x font (type1 or .pcf?)

I use Pango for handling fonts.

Works okay.

And I think DSL already has an Arial clone font.
