Other Help Topics :: How do I add new fonts to DSL?

Well that is basically my question: How do I add new fonts to DSL and saving them with the backup function. So my point is that I want to be able to take my cd and usb-drive (with the backup) and use it wherever I go. Thanks in advance!

Have fun out there,

Make sure you havethe latest version of gnu-utils.
It has recently had the mkfontdir executable added.
This will allow you to update your fonts.dir files..

I place my extra fonts, like the artwiz fonts, etc. in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc ..
Once copied there, you'll need to run " /usr/sbin/update-fonts-dir misc " command.
This will use mkfontdir to update the fonts.dir file in the misc directory.

Then it is a simple matter to add the line
" usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" to your filetool.lst

Backup to your key, and when you restore, they will be ready-to-go..
