Hello,
I’m running OM 6.14.1 from the OM_6.14.tar.bz2 on Ubuntu 18.10. All fonts are on the resources/fonts/linux/ folder but it seems that OM can’t find them (see attached). How can I force OM to use those fonts?
Best regards,
RC
Hi RC.
The most standard way would be to copy the various fonts from the resources/fonts/linux/ folder to wherever your system looks for fonts, typically /usr/share/fonts/*.
I think (don’t use Ubuntu myself…) also you can place them inside a ~/.fonts/ folder in your home directory.
Or else use a font manager app, ie. font-manager.

Thanks Anders for the quick reply!
Indeed that works but with sudo. I was wondering if there’s a way to tell OM to use fonts from a specific location during startup, maybe with a flag or similar…
Best regards,
RC
No need to sudo if you install (or just symlink) inside ~/.fonts/
OM utilises the underlying lispworks/capi/gp system to allocate font resources across platforms. I’m not aware of any general way to customize this using env vars or similar.
