TrueType Fonts for Fedora 10. No such file or directory

[ensens]

Hi,

RE: The Perfect Desktop - Fedora 10 (GNOME) - Page 4

After running the final command I got output that said "No such file or directory". Is that normal or OK?

# rpm -ivh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm --nodeps
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:msttcorefonts ########################################### [100%]
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.sf8Uz5: line 3: /usr/sbin/chkfontpath: No such file or directory

Thank you.

What's the output of

updatedb
locate msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm

?

# locate msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
/root/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm

Sorry, I didn't read your first post properly.

Run

yum install chkfontpath

and then install the msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm package.

Hi,

I can't find the program "chkfontpath".

# yum install chkfontpath
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package chkfontpath available.
Nothing to do
[root@localhost tmp]# which chkfontpath
/usr/bin/which: no chkfontpath in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/brian/bin)
[root@localhost tmp]# whereis chkfontpath
chkfontpath:
[root@localhost tmp]#

I have enabled all the repositories from the Perfect Desktop Fedora 10 guide except for the Skype repository. And I haven't checked any of the "Rawhide" software sources. And, I clicked "refresh package list" from the Add/Remove Software application prior to doing anything.

That's strange... I didn't have to install that package.
Anyway, you can try to install this one:
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/atrpms.ne...2.fc9.i386.rpm

do:

$wget http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/mst...nts-2.0-1.spec

Make sure these packages are installed:

$ yum install rpm-build cabextract ttmkfdir popt-devel

Install chkfontpath (no rpm available from fedora since fedora10):

$ wget http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/...-2.fc8.src.rpm

Build the package chkfontpath:

$ rpmbuild --rebuild chkfontpath-1.10.1-2.fc8.src.rpm

and install it:

$ yum localinstall --nogpgcheck /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/chkfontpath-1.10.1-2.fc10.i386.rpm

Lets get towards the end: Build the Core Fonts package:

$ rpmbuild -ba msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec

Install the Core Fonts package:

$ yum localinstall --nogpgcheck /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm

Hi Simimbo,

Thanks. It worked perfectly!
