Re: MythFontProperties, Error: Failed to load

If you open the .ttf file with some font viewer application (es. kfontview) you can se the "real name" of the font.
I mean that "Droid" differ from "Droid Sans" or "DroidSans" or "Droid MT" (examples).
Try to copy the file .ttf into the theme directory (/usr/share/mythtv/themes/MythCenter-wide), and make the file read from all,
After that check the real name of the font...It should be equal to the name in the base.xml file, as you has already done for Droid...
bye bye

I have installed ttf-droid, msttcorefonts, ttf-liberation, etc. If I go to gnome:system->preferences->appearance->fonts, I can select Droid Sans or Liberation Sans as a desktop font. Any ideas? Is this something to do with permissions or file locations or possibly even screen resolution?
