====== bkchem and fonts ====== When you try to import a bkchem-svg into to other programs like inkscape, you might suffer problems from fonts substitution, because the bkchem-fonts are not available to inkscape and vice versa. Here's how you make the fonts inkscape uses available to bkchem: 1. Locate the fonts. I did it with "fontmatrix", that's a very comfortable program which allows you to browse the fonts installed on your system. You find them usually beyond /usr/share/fonts 2. Change to the directory, where the fonts you want to install are located 3. Run mkfontscale mkfontdir 4. Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the directory to the FontPath in the Files-Section. 5. Restart X and the font should be available in bkchem. Tips: Issuing xset +fp $PWD adds the current directory temporarily to the FontPath The following little script adds all Fonts beyond /usr/share/fonts which are no more the three directories away. #!/bin/bash for i in /usr/share/fonts/* do cd $i; mkfontscale; mkfontdir; pwd for j in * do if test -d $i/$j then cd $j; mkfontscale; mkfontdir; pwd for k in * do if test -d $i/$j/$k then cd $k; mkfontscale; mkfontdir; pwd ls -l | grep drwx cd .. fi done cd .. fi done done
