Where is the fonts Directory of OpenSuse?
Can someone tell me please where the fonts directory of OpensSuse 10.3 (Kde) lies, so I can add my fonts to my bash profile? Thanks for your help. Armando

Fonts are usually under /user/share/fonts/, some distros (like debian) has a separate subdir "truetype" for TrueType fonts. Users may added fonts under ~/.fonts as well. -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

so: ~/.fonts;/usr/share/fonts/;/usr/share/fonts/truetype ?

I don't think this will work, since /usr/share/fonts and /usr/share/fonts/truetype have multiple subdirs (per package) that has the actuall fonts, does context look into subdirs as well or the top dir only. What about querying fontconfig about installed fonts (which I guess what XeTeX does under linux) this allows calling the font by the actual font name not filename. Regards, Khaled

When you has run mtxrun --script font --reload that file will be consulted too. After than you can access fonts by name by using a name: prefix, so name:mynamedfont With mtxrun --script font --list you can see what fontnames are accepted.
