Was sent to Inkscape-dev, but it got no replies. Perhaps someone here will know more. Does Inkscape see Truetype Collection (.ttc) fonts under Linux (fontconfig)? I was pointed to one here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/mikachan-font-9.1.tar.bz2 I installed it (into ~/.fonts) and it''s name does not come up in the list in the font chooser. From what I can tell, Gimp does not see it either. I might not be seeing it in the list, but it''s named ''mikachan'' and I don''t find that. I am trying to see if it''s worth building support for them into Fonty Python. \d -- When you allow legends to rule your life, your world is based on fiction -- Segio Aragones (Groo the Wanderer Number 99)

And I was able to use those in GIMP. They show up under the en names for me, since I use en_US.UTF-8. I presume were I to run in a locale such as ja_JA.UTF-8 they would show up in the menu under their Hiragana names. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos at jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6

For some reason the man files are not installed on Kubuntu 7.10 and I can''t find any trace of them by searching aptitude.> And I was able to use those in GIMP.Thanks to your confirmation, I had another look and I had screwed up my symlink to the ttc file (I put links in ~/.fonts) - so I fixed it and it''s working. Thanks for the info. \d
