Hi all,
I copied in /root/.fonts all the Windows fonts and I expected that software as Abiword and OpenOffice have these to let the user choose from. But this does not work, that is the user has just the previous fonts ! I tried on my pc to symlink at windows folder and it works very well.
Any idea of why Puppy is missing new fonts ?
Thanks.

I am not too sure but could there be anything in the posts "Installing Microsoft Core Web Fonts" which could assist.

no, i don't
it should not make much difference whether you symlink or copy the files
a couple of days ago, i wrote a little script to copy the Windows fonts to /root/.fonts for a friend who was trying Puppy for the first time ... i put the script in a dotpup so she could just download it and click it
she said that it wasn't working, so i asked if she had Firefox running ... she said yes, so i told her that she needed to restart Firefox ... as soon as she restarted Firefox, the fonts were available
in your case, i don't know what the problem is
maybe a /root/.fonts.cache* file is corrputed? you could try deleting the cache files
maybe there is a permissions or ownership problem? are you running Puppy as root, or as an unprivileged user, like spot?
maybe the exec permissions bits are set on the files, and that might cause a problem?
i do not think it is any of those things ... actually, i can't think of why it would not work
is the directory called /root/.fonts ? ... a little different name would not work, like /root/.font or /root/.Fonts
(actually, you can set the system so that it is not case sensitive, if you put this in /etc/profile.local:
bind "set completion-ignore-case on"
but i am not suggesting that you do this)
