Installing Microsoft True Type Core Fonts in Puppy...?
Posted: Thu 29 Apr 2010, 13:44
I'd like to install the MS TT Core Fonts to my shiny new Retro-Pup (for use in Abiword), but after scouring the web and this forum for more than a couple of hours I'm none the wiser, I'm sorry to admit...The Abiword page links seem to be broken or otherwise unavailable...I may post this to Abiword too - Will notify the forum if I do and if the response is helpful.)
There does not seem to be a facility to do this in PetGet - as extra fonts are not part of the Puppy repositories, as far as I can see (up 'til now...) -
I opened the Rox Filer thing, but just get a set of thumbnails with no readily apparent way of "Opening a Rox Filer Window"...
There *is* a file known as " /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/fonts " into which I think I could probably place the MS TT Core Fonts - but is there a command line that I can write in a terminal to go and get these fonts?
ALSO - I'm not sure of the correct protocol in Puppy *for* writing commands - In Ubuntu you can use 'sudo' and you can use the APT program to grab a program and install it, but what's the proper way to do this in Puppy? (I presume I am 'root'...? What is the way to let the machine know I *am* invoking this command as the Big Kahuna of these parts...?)
Sorry if all this has been patiently explained before, and ALL help will be much appreciated - Thanks in advance !
