Re: Anti-aliased fonts in KDE 2.2.1: ``Adobe" fonts not available when anti-aliasing enabled
Wolfgang, Thanks for the tip. I checked the fonts.scale. Two follow-
ups:
1. In a sense, your reply only deepens the mystery. For example,
with anti-aliasing enabled, ``Nimbus Roman No9 L" appears in
KDE's font list, but ``Times" does not. With anti-aliasing disabled,
both names appear in KDE's font list.
2. In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.scale, the aliases are not
defined by name but by number. Can you point me to a list of
which approximation is used to alias each of the ``35 standard
PostScript fonts"?

The 35 standard PostScript fonts are mostly not really there, but
exist only as aliases pointing to approximations. E.g. Times is only
an alias for "Nimbus Roman No9 L". These aliases are defined in
the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.scale. Could it be that
the fonts are really there but only the aliases are missing?
