I can't use my fonts in Pixeluvo !!

[Minege]

Hello, I just bought pixeluvo on steam after seeing the reduction, having already used this application, I wanted to finish my project in paid version. In short!

I wanted to finish my project, and as the title suggests, I did not have my available typeface. I reinstall one, to try and nothing. Yet, still nothing ... How do I add my Fonts in pixeluvo ?? How can I do for it captured them?



Thank you in advance,

Currently you need to restart Pixeluvo after installing fonts because it only scans for them at startup. Hopefully you should see them show up after that.

It's wath i have doo and any font is here(expected default) :-(...

Not a settings can add this ??

Hmm that's weird, which OS are you running it on?
The font files have to be installed by the OS, so on windows you would double click the ttf file and it will install them. Is this what you're doing? Can you see the fonts in other applications (e.g. Word)?

Hello,

i'm on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and i can see my Fonts in libre office writter.

I have installed by OS on double click and click install.

Ok, I'll investigate and see if I can reproduce this behaviour, sounds like something is going wrong.

Ok, I've managed to reproduce.
The gory details are that it seems Ubuntu installs new fonts in the folder ~/.local/share/fonts, which Pixeluvo doesn't scan for fonts because it's not listed in /etc/fonts/fonts.config

I'll try and sort out a proper fix for the next version, but in the mean time you can create a symlink from ~/.fonts to that directory (~/.fonts/ does get scanned). Apologies for resorting to the command line, but in this case it's the quickest way. Open a terminal and type in the following:

ln -s ~/.local/share/fonts/ ~/.fonts

That will create a directory called .fonts and point it to .local/share/fonts. You should then be able to see your fonts when you restart Pixeluvo. As I said, I'll try and get a proper fix sorted for the next version, thanks for reporting!

Ok, thank you very mutch Pictopotamus !

And there is no problem with the terminal with me, don't worry ;-)

how do you add fonts to pixeluvo?

[TheBaron]

Pixeluvo will pick up any installed fonts (you may need to restart it after adding fonts).
On Windows just double click the font file to install it, then when you restart Pixeluvo it should be there.
