Hi. The attached font ANA-ONEIROPARMENI82.TTF has internal name ANA-OneiroparmEni82 and I have Arial.ttf installed. But if I install this font, it replaces Arial (only Arial Regular) in applications.

I tried fontforge Element->Font Info, but the only reference to Arial I found is TTF Names/Trademark. --

You should start from scratch, and then this problem doesn''t arise. For some reason, FontForge isn''t displaying all the alternative language name strings that are set to "Arial" in the font, but TTX/FontTools will show you what they are. To fix it, I''d suggest you save your font to SFD, load that SFD into FontForge and regenerate it. You can see how Fontconfig understands your font with the tool fc-query. Type fc-query nameoffontfile.ttf and look at the lines starting "family:" and "fullname:". For the font you attached, you''ll see Arial in there. When that''s gone, it''s fixed. -- Paul Flo Williams http://hisdeedsaredust.com
