Can anyone provide directions for installing Dina on Ubuntu Gutsy?  In particular I would like to use it with emacs.  tia

Ubuntu has bitmapped fonts disabled by default.
You need to run "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config". At some point of the dialogs that come up you will be asked if you'd like to enable bitmapped fonts. Answer this with yes.
Then, unpack the Dina PCF files in any directory below /usr/share/fonts (e. g. into /usr/share/fonts/Dina) and run "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig".
Open a console and check with "fc-list | grep Dina" that Dina is there as medium, bold, italic, and bold italic.

Now that the font should be available to X11, Gnome and KDE.

Emacs may have its own font configuration mechanism. Since I don't use emacs, I wouldn't know about that. Sorry.
Maybe someone else here can fill us in on the emacs font selection.

This worked for me on ubuntu 10 LTS


--- ---sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/Dina
sudo cp Dina-PCF.tar.gz /usr/share/fonts/Dina
cd /usr/share/fonts/Dina
sudo tar -xvf Dina-PCF.tar.gz
sudo rm Dina-PCF.tar.gz
sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf
sudo fc-cache -f -v

Thanks the autor of this awesome font for releasing it free and the rest of the guys for posting the tuto to make it work in buntuland! (Linux Mint 12 here).
I confirm that as this Sunday February 5th Dina's .PCF font files still works smooth.
