I find that on my system that:
kfmclient copy <font_name>.ttf fonts:/System/
copys the file to "$KDEDIR/share/fonts" which doesn't seem correct to
me. And, it didn't update the Fontmap file in the directory.
Are there bugs in KFontInst again??
IAC, if you copy the font file to "$KDEDIR/share/fonts/TTF" then
FontConfig should find it if the system is set up correctly. But, I
found that on my system I needed to have:
fc-cache
in my: "rc.local" script for it to find new fonts and that requires a
reboot -- too much like Windows. :-\
I don't know how to make FontConfig do a rescan except to run [as root]:
fc-cache
So, there are unanswered questions. But, at least I know what I don't
know about this.
