I am attempting to utilize the MSCoreFonts in Abiword. I already have these
ttf fonts installed correctly in XFree86-4.2. At this url:
http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/UnixFaqTrueTypeFonts
I attempted the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Generating .afm and .u2g Files
AbiWord needs .afm and .u2g files for each font file to do accurate printing
and glyph name translation. Generate these with the ttftool that comes with
AbiWord:
# cd /usr/share/fonts/MSCoreFonts
# for f in `ls *.ttf`; do /usr/share/AbiSuite/bin/ttftool -f $f -u `echo $f |
sed 's/ttf$/u2g/;'` -a `echo $f | sed 's/ttf$/afm/;'`;done
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The above two commands were modified for my installation:
cd /usr/share/fonts/monotype/TrueType
for f in `ls *.ttf`; do ttftool -f $f -u `echo $f | sed 's/ttf$/u2g/;'` -a
`echo $f | sed 's/ttf$/afm/;'`;done
Yet, I get the following errors:
Error: ttftool(file andalemo.ttf): cannot open font file [andalemo.ttf] for
reading
<one error for each *.ttf>
Read permissions are set properly. What is ttftool trying to tell me?
