Hello, I've trying to use my company's standard fonts on a RedHat 8/KDE 3 machine.

I've installed, then...

- Created [tt]/home/Fonts[/tt] directory (in [tt]/home[/tt] filesystem (not on [tt]/[/tt] filesystem).
- Permissions of [tt]/home/Fonts[/tt] are [tt]drwxrwxrwxt[/tt].
- Copyed some true type fonts to that directory. Fonts have all chars in the filename low case and have not spaces. File extensions are .ttf for all.
- All files are owned by root and their permissions are [tt]-rw-r--r--[/tt] for all.
- Ran [tt]ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale[/tt], and look at created [tt]fonts.scale[/tt] and it looks good.
- Ran [tt]mkfontdir[/tt], and look at created [tt]fonts.dir[/tt] and it looks good to me.
- Ran [tt]chkfontpath --add /home/Fonts[/tt], and gave no errors.
- Ran [tt]/sbin/service xfs restart[/tt], and gave no errors.
- Ran [tt]xset +fp /home/Fonts[/tt], and gave no errors.
- Ran [tt]xset fp rehash[/tt], and gave no errors, either.

Tried so set the KDE standard font using K->Preferences->Fonts and my new fonts are not listed there.
Tried to choose my font on KWrite and is not listed either.

What am I doing bad?

I hope it works...
