Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux I have a lot of third-party TTF fonts installed, and some of them are monospace fonts, they are surely monospace, but they are not available in font selection dialogs in KControl or Konsole, for example, where only monospace fonts are supposed to be avaliable for selection. The particular font I'm interested in is Lucida Sans Typewriter, a good TTF monospaced font which is supplied in Java SDKs. That is what xfontsel says about this font: -b&h-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-0-iso10646-1 As we can see, "m" bit is here, not saying that it is monospace just if to look at it. ) Some more info: XD1 centurion # fc-match "Lucida Sans Typewriter" LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf: "Lucida Sans Typewriter" "Regular" It is not the only font that is inaccesible where it is really needed. So behave special monospace fonts for thai language and others, though DejaVu Sans Mono and Courier New (and some others) are all right.
Aha, sorry for disturbing. I found the source of the problem. The thing was in one of the font files, responsible for Lucida Sans Typewriter bold oblique. After removing this file the font appeared in the lists. It was probably because bold oblique gained priority over the Regular outline, and thus didn't allow the font to appear in dialogs.
