Hello all. The Nimbus font can be used as the default font of many writing or text-editing applications. It is also specified as the console font in .Xdefaults or .Xresources for many Puppies. However, with the recent trend towards thinner, meager, even anorexic, Pups, I have found that it is missing in many Pups, even if specified in .Xdefaults or .Xresources. It is actually a very nice font, comparable to the DejaVu font in many respects, as you'll see if you visit these Web pages: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/nimbus-roman-no9-l https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/nimbus-mono https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/nimbus-sans-l About a third down the page, the font-squirrel site shows what the font looks like. The Nimbus comes in the usual three variants: mono, sans serif and serif ( or "roman" ). It should be able to fill most writing needs. These fonts are also multilingual, for languages using the Latin alphabet (my under- standing). If you wish to know if the Nimbus font has characters for your language, at the bottom of the font-squirrel page, click on "languages", there's a long list. The Nimbus is also included by default as one of the ghostscript fonts, although not in the usual TTF or OTF formats. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ As per forum rules, I had to split the Nimbus zip archive in three sections, in order not to exceed the 256 Kb limit per file. To reassemble: -- go to your download directory, open a console and type:
Then move these fonts to directory /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF. Finally type
IHTH. BFN.
