guys, do u mind directing me to a link where i can know how to copy those fonts to the desired folder, or post a small guide ?

thanks

[anthonie]

With no screens, it is very, very annoying. Interested as I am in typography, I first had to download 3 files, only to find that none of the fonts included were actually suitable to my needs (too much thrills, too much serif, in short, too much decorum)

Nice you want to share some things, but if you really want to make that sharing usefull, provide people with some information, like screens or at least links to the original location where screens are provided.

If you are not willing to do that, please, provide a list with the fonts included so people can use their rmb and use google search quickly.

Let me help you with that last remark...

dear rjneid,
this link will provide you with the help you need http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41422
and in any case you fail understanding any information then please private message me and i will write a much simpler tutorial

There are some external sites, that I usually prefer for these kind of things. You're right about the boards functionality being flaky.

Plenty of choice. Try the first: Imageshack. Allows you to create previews as well. All in one go.

further more i also provided from the beginning the site i got the fonts from

Well, if I have to download the files before knowing the names of the fonts within the package, there's not much use providing the general home page link, is there?

and if you dont like my taste then im sure you will find what you like in that site

Like I said before. Sharing is always appreciated and I would not have taken the effort to put the list here if I did not think you'd pick something up from that. Linux is all about sharing! You did that, so did I.


cheers :D ,

No prob. You too. Someone else will find it usefull, I'm sure.

This was helpful, thank you.

guys, now were talking about fonts..but i got a question..
How can i change the font at my Instant messages..
I mean the font that the people see on the other side of the instant message.. ??

any ideas?

[Kevstacey]

if u have black plastic theme installed you can use custom fonts on that when setting up a theme, again just put ttf file in /usr/share/fonts
and set font in settings menu:)

[stickymick]

Not sure if you font hunters know about this, but you could do a lot worse than take a look over here: http://www.dafont.com/.

[turbovomit]

Can we use them with theme customizer ?

[eefo]

Can we use them with theme customizer ?

as long as they are .ttf files .
you can use .otf files too but .ttf files are much preferable

[corduroysack]

some great fonts out there. at present i am using Jon Sans from dafont and opificio is a fave of mine. my personal fave is Torid which eefo brought to my attention even the wife commented on it being an eye pleaser :)
