Fonts in Ubuntu 8.04
- From: RC <raulcarreras@xxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2008 14:13:55 -0700 (PDT)
Please, does anyone know how to effectively add or delete fonts in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy? There is no way to get to the fonts folder to do this. Is it a bug or an oversight of the developers?

The OpenOffice.org maintainer has been doing a heroic job of handling
bug reports regarding OpenOffice but he can still use your help!
Subsequently, the next hug day, on Tuesday, June 17th, will focus on
OpenOffice. There are currently about 214 New bug reports regarding
Open Office and we will be focusing on reducing that number in addition
to look at some outstanding Incomplete and Confirmed bugs. We'll do
this by following up with reporters, documenting test cases, confirming
bug reports and tagging bugs based on their sub-component. The event
will be held in #Ubuntu-bugs on Freenode. The list of targeted bugs and
tasks is posted at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080617
Our goal is to deal with all of the bugs on that list.
So on 17 June 2008, in all timezones, we'll be meeting in
#ubuntu-bugs on irc.freenode.net for another Ubuntu Hug Day.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay
While you are welcome to apply to join the Ubuntu Bug Control team
anytime, Hug Day is a great day to join!
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl
If you're interested in helping to make the next release of Ubuntu even
better - please stop by. And feel free to ask bdmurray, pedro, calc
(the OpenOffice maintainer) and the rest of the team for ways to help
out. We hope to see you there and your name on the list of bug
triagers!

Hi,Hello Alain,
I use firefox v3.05b with Ubuntu HH 8.04 LTS.
If I print, firefox uses the default printer. But since this is
different at home and at work, I have to change it manually. Firefox
never shows me a selection for the printer to send his out put to? Any
suggestions
Tx/Alain
sorry, but I cannot reproduce your problem as the print dialogue window
shows in my installation ok, thus I can give you just some hints.
If you have the dialogue window in other applications (like ooffice ),
then you can check that plug-in libunixprintplugin.so is correctly
installed.
In firefox type in the adrress bar:
about:plugins
and check, if "Demo Print Plugin for unix/linux" is enabled. It is a
part of xulrunner-1.9 package in hardy-updates repository.
Furthermore you can check configuration settings in firefox with:
about:config
in the address bar and filter options by "print" in filter box at the top.
Here are some examples from my settings, wit clean (not upgraded form
FF2) profile, that could be relevant for you, from top to bottom of
displayed options:
print.postscript.print_command; lpr
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+-P"$MOZ_PRINTER_NAME"}
print.print_command; lpr
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+-P"$MOZ_PRINTER_NAME"}
and also for each printer separately e.g.:
print.printer_efax-gtk.print_command; lpr
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+-P"$MOZ_PRINTER_NAME"}
print.printer_PDF.print_command; lpr
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+-P"$MOZ_PRINTER_NAME"}
print.printer_list; -_has no value set - it is empty-_
print.use_native_print_dialog; false
You can edit values with double click or by right clicking the row.
Please be sure, _to backup_ your prefs.js file in your profile folder or
that folder itself, before you make any changes to your preferences file.
Good luck!

Hi ?svobi & ?Michael,

looks like you have problems with acpi.
I agree.
In order to harden this judgement, using Midnight Commander, look into
the directory ?/proc/acpi/processor/ to see if your CPU is named other
than 'CPU0'. If so, look for a 'power' submenu and try to find there
power states C1, C2, C3.
Usually it happens with "bad"
bios.
I agree. Often a bad BIOS is the cause that the Ubuntu installer cannot
install a proper ACPI subsystem automatically.
I recommend you to update firmware for your laptop first. (for
example, my laptop had this kind of problem too, but 2 month ago my
manufacturer fixed this problem in firmware.)
A good advice. After that often Ubuntu has to be re-installed.
To be sure you can check if all acpi-related stuff was loaded properly
1. check loaded modules: lsmod | grep acpi
if everything ok,
Often other Ubunteros already have tried to get your laptop type running
using Ubuntu and reported in the WWW about their success. Find out if
they loaded the same kernel modules as you.
there should be acpi_cpufreq, and some other related
modules (cpufreq_ondemand, freq_table, etc...)
The mentioned modules are loaded in my laptop computer also. But in your
specific computer type they may be replaced by other modules. So compare
with another owner of your specific computer type.
2. check errors during boot: dmesg | grep ACPI, any errors/warning?
A good point. But you will need experience to interpret these error
messages or warnings. Googling for the exact wording may help.
?Or are some some extra (ACPI) installations needed?
Ubuntu tries to find out all needed ACPI installations and installs
accordingly. So the answer is: "Usually not." If an ACPI error or
warning message in dmesg appers, then yes (or a configuration needs to
be changed).
?> IBM Services changed the fan and its exhausts already and it still
seems quite hot always in the upper 60 degrees Celsius !?
You did not mention if this happens also when using Windows. If your T30
stays cool when using Windows, then your Ubuntu is at fault. If your T30
is hot when using Windows also, then some other hardware than the fan is
likely at fault. Analyze the error messages.

Detlef Lechner

Hi,

Hi
Having just upgraded to Hardy Heron 8.04, I've been trying to use a
terminal window to su to change a configuration in /etc/bluetooth.
I keep getting an Authentication failure which I don't remember from
Version 7.
If I change a setting in, say, the network configuration using the
System -> Administration -> Network menu option, is asks for
authorisation and accepts my password.
Why does su not let me in?
TIA

The root password is locked by default for security reasons, so sudo
is the recommended way.
You can set a root password, however by:
sudo passwd
To re-lock the root password:
sudo passwd -l root

Hello svobi,
Am Sonntag, den 15.06.2008, 12:45 +0800 schrieb SYNass IT Ubuntu /
Linux:
I am in a similar situation with my Gutsy 7.10 and may be in the future
with Hardy 8.04 !
Note: The font handling and storage in Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 differ.
Using Avantgarde as my default font since years I would like to get it
to Ubuntu too !!
I do not know anything about Avantgarde.
Where exactly does Ubuntu store all these fonts displayed in Appearance
Preferences Fonts ???
I do not know much about all the fonts used in Ubuntu 8.04
Appearance_Preferences_(dialog) > Fonts. I gave an answer to 'RC' about
a often used font class, the True-Type fonts. You can find out where
they are stored on your computer by using the gnome-search tool
searching for '.ttf'. A lot of them are stored
in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ .
I do not understand your recommendation to create another one !?
I did not recommend to create another font.
Fonts must be there already and so ...
... no needs to create anything anew !?!?
It is possible to import fonts from somewhere to your Ubuntu computer.
One more curious thing:
Under Applications / Graphic are FontForge and Font Viewer !
Starting FontForge displays the /home directories !? Why not the font
directory ???
Starting Font Viewer displays a table with an error message pop-up:
Cannot open /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1:
!!??
I do not know because I did not use these programs.
Another (little) problem:
Choosing some fonts in applications it always shows an endless table ...
... many NOT needed ae ... ones !
How to get rid of all these really NOT needed ones ???
It is quite possible to delete font files. Be careful that you do not
regret later though.

Detlef
