« on: January 08, 2008, 09:42 AM »Can anyone provide directions for installing Dina on Ubuntu Gutsy? In particular I would like to use it with emacs. tia-jsyjr (November 10, 2007, 10:18 AM)
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.
