Fonts: Linux Lite 4.8, Not showing up, working after Install - nick.shades - 04-26-2020 Howdy Folks. Relatively new user of Linux Lite here. I am attempting to make a custom interpretation of conky, and decided to download some free fonts to make it my own. 64-bit Linux Lite 4.8, 18 hour old Installation NUC7i3DNKE m.2SSD / Single Partition Linux Install I installed everything by default from the USB installation. After squaring away some simple mechanics for my use of this installation (Bluetooth, docking bay, Google integration), I started to play with conky, and install a couple of fonts. The first font that I installed was Initial.ttf ... I downloaded it to my Download directory. Unzipped its Archive, Right clicked the font itself, and Opened it in "Fonts" and then Clicked Install in the header bar. I rebuilt the font cache using fc-cache -f -v I opened the widget file in the conky-lite directory and changed the fields which I wanted a different font to Initial. CTRL+S, and it worked like a charm. I downloaded another font, installed it the same way - twenty-one.ttf and a third font, the amazing grace.ttf -- fc-cache -f -v and then adjusted the widget file in leafpad again. CTRL+S, and it did NOT work like a charm. It reverted back to the original font I had started with before using Initial.ttf I tried to manually bring the font from the download directory which I had it in at Install over to the directory /usr/share/fonts/truetype/litefonts and then fc-cache -f -v which it ran succesfully, but STILL is not reflecting the new font in the conky-lite widget. Is there something that I skipped ? Is there a way to uninstall the fonts, and try installing them again? Your knowledge, advice, and patience is highly appreciated. Thank you, Nick Shades **edit: 8:17pm PST 4/25/2020 -- I decided to do a hard reset, and the fonts seem to work, now. specifically, "the amazing grace" which I installed last. Not sure why it did not work with the rebuild of the font cache. I am going to try the other font which I was interested in first and come back to this thread. **edit: 9:28m PST 4/25/2020 -- Played with the other fonts I was interested in using - "twenty-one.ttf" and it would not load, despite being installed. I rebuilt the font cache as listed above, this time with sudo as well , and it did not work after rebuilding the cache. Is there another variable to the rebuilding of the cache string which I should use? It seems to me that rebuilding the cache should work in absence of a reset every time, after all, thats why we use Linux, right? Is there a way to rebuild the font cache without resetting, and with a string different than fc-cache ? **Edit: 9:52pm -- THis is very, very strange. I can open LibreOffice and use any of the fonts which I have installed without a problem, but I cannot get several of them to load into the widget for conky. If I can use a font that is installed in LibreOffice without any problem, but I cannot get it to load into Conky, is it named something different? is there something I should do differently? I am going to attempt to add some screenshots of what is going on. ** Edit: 10:06pm -- added screenshots Re: Fonts: Linux Lite 4.8, Not showing up, working after Install - nick.shades - 04-30-2020 Any ideas, here? I see my views have gotten to over 100, but no responses. Am I lacking information, or is this just a stumper?
