Fun with fonts

Added some new fonts to my Red Hat 9.0 machine (this fuelled by installing version 1.0 of Scribus). Turns out to be quite simple (the documentation was a great help) - I searched for my existing TrueType fonts and found them in /etc/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF. I then had to recreate the fonts.scale and fonts.dir file in that directory, the commands 'ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale' and then 'mkfontdir' did the trick and, lo and behold, lots of new fonts suddenly available to Scribus.


BTW, Gnome Foundation have recently released a nice set of Bitstream fonts.
