And because of the way X searches for fonts, it may find these first and use these, even if the 'real' ones are installed and may be the preferred choice. And apparently, these are of much less quality. Apparently, some of these fonts have the same names as some of the well known MS TrueType fonts: Arial, etc. While it is possible to specify a default point size for the xfs font server, very few applications will actually use this value.Ībiword comes with a suite of fonts, called 'Abisuite'. But they are suitable for many other purposes. Unfortunately however, Type 1 are not a web standard like TrueType. You likely have many of these installed already. Though not discussed here, Type 1 fonts provide many of the same benefits as TrueType and are historically better supported in the Unix world.
(See the links section below for more on Wordperfect.) Text editors, terminal programs and the like need fixed width fonts, and do not play well with TrueType or other scalable fonts. Wordperfect for Linux, however, cannot use TrueType. Most GUI apps should be able to use TrueType, and Type 1 fonts too. Desktop Environments like Gnome and KDE may provide much of this functionality however. And each program may well have its own way of doing this so you will have to RTFM. You will have to configure each individual program so you can use TrueType, Type 1 or fonts that pique your fancy. Unfortunately there is no unified font handling system for Linux.
