[SOLVED] Adding Chinese fonts FC13 64

[cailab]

I've tried everything. I've tried soaking, I've tried scrubbing, and I've also tried:

• adding the font to local .fonts directory
• adding font to /usr/share/fonts
• simply clicking on the ttf file and then 'install' (which puts it in the .fonts directory)

But nothing seems to help. As I haven't yet made 15 posts, I can't post a URL, but I'm trying to add Chinese fonts from the uni-heidelberg.de site. (A search on free chinese fonts will give the URL). The only installation hiccup I've noticed is that the font name, when the ttf file is clicked on in the gnome GUI, is ???? (for a number of fonts, not just one file). I don't think that's the problem though.

After installing, they do not show up in OO, GIMP, etc. Any help greatly appreciated.

Who would have guessed that the day would come when it would be easier to watch DVDs and use video conferencing on Linux than add fonts?!

Resolved.

The font files were somehow corrupted or for some reason unrecognized by my system. I found good, free, traditional Chinese fonts at the following sites. Installation using Font Viewer was no problem.
