[Solved] Cannot install new fonts with drakfont

Hi,

This the first system I have used with Mageia but I have past experience with LinuxMint, Pear and Ubuntu.

At the moment everything is brilliant except drakfont. It will not import the downloaded ttf fonts or recognise that calligra office has been installed despite having followed the user guide to the letter.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

The drakfont GUI is broken (bug 11849), but you can do it from the command line:
Code: Select all
su
drakfont --application 1 --install PathToFonts

replacing "PathToFonts" with the full path name of the directory containing the downloaded ttf fonts. This will import all the fonts in that directory.
