True Type Font installation problem.

[Glasskannon]

Hey guys

Heres my problem. Tonight i decided to make the switch from BT2 to BT3 on HDD install. In BT2 my TTF's worked great.

Now in BT3 i go through the same commands to install the fonts, everything looks good... no errors or anything. When i reboot... the MS fonts are not in the list of fonts for firefox.

These are the commands i am using...

         wget -c hxxp://easylinux.info/uploads/msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm
         rpm2tgz msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm
         tgz2lzm msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.tgz msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.lzm
         lzm2dir msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.lzm /

i am stumped. i have tried installing these guys 3 or 4 times now with no luck. Am i doing something wrong here?

I tried the same for BT3 and also didn't come right. There's obviously a different way of doing it in BT3.

Ok for BT3 I just added this command after the others
cp /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/TTF/

and it seems to be working now.

That did the trick! Nice find.

Font installer for BT3 doesnt work
I try installing any font using that utility and it isnt even visible in it.

I manually copied fonts in /usr/share/font/ttf directory.
Now new fonts are visible in font installer, but my applications (Opera< Mozilla) still dont use them.

I was trying to install following fonts

The procedure for installing Microsoft True Type fonts (on the Wiki) worked for BT2, but does not work for BT3.
