why drakfont can't import OTF

[almusalimalmusalimah]

hello every one

as you see at subject

so why in mageia it can't do that while it can do it in mandriva 2010.2??

[almusalimalmusalimah]

hey ..............

can anyone help me here

Hi almusalimalmusalimah

you mean that in: Mageia Control Center >> System >> Manage, add and remove fonts. Import Windows(TM) fonts
if you press the button "Import" (at the bottom, on the left side of the window) you can't import OTF fonts from a file?
I just did that, before answering, I imported an OTF font "Chaparral Pro", just to test it. It works.

Do you mean something else and I didn't understand?

[almusalimalmusalimah]

you are right i really did that at mageia ((virtualbox)) and it woorks fine

maybe i have a problem at it after i upgraded mandriva 2010.2 to mageia RC

thank man

Well, what problem if you were able to install the font already?

As you have been told multiple times before, if there are problems or bugs, do bugreports like everyone else.
Or try to contact the developers directly before doing that, either via IRC or on the appropriate mailing lists.

Just complaining helps noone.

The problem is that the font file name contains a space. Rename the file to remove the space and you will be able to install the font using drakfont.
