And of course, you can download fonts from any of those font collection |
| 23 |
pages on the net and extract/copy them into /usr/share/fonts/TTF |
| 24 |
(assuming they're truetype, naturally), run fc-cache and they'll work |
| 25 |
fine. I had an attack of fontmania recently myself, looking for 'nice' |
| 26 |
fonts that weren't ComicSansMS that actually had ë, ö, ¤ (that's the |
| 27 |
Euro symbol, if you can't see it), and *also* had bold and italic |
| 28 |
variants (which was the problem). |

It's almost enough to make me wish I spoke/wrote CJK-- there are a lot |
| 31 |
more complete fonts for Asian languages (and they're much easier to |
| 32 |
find), than truly complete sets for ISO8859-15. |
