Ciao! I have the need to add fonts to the titler. The instructions on the manual seems out of date. I tried the more recent tips at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdzzVDwFHzo with no avail. I get no errors nor new fonts listed in the font dropdown of the tiler. Any hint? Ciao! Raffaella
Hi. I have just added font, estre.ttf (useless font, only numbers) copied the font file to '/usr/lib/cinelerra/fonts' following the tutorial mentioned below but then edited the existing 'fonts.dir' manually. Tedious but works if you just want to add a specific font. Note. I had followed the full tutorial but backed up my original 'fonts.dir' first which was lucky as the tutorial had left a new unusable directory. Hope this is of help.

Ciao Oliver! Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I have no backup and I do not know fonts enought to edit the fonts.dir file manually. I'm dying of curiosity of comparing your working fonts.dir and your unusable one. Would you be happy to send them both? Ciao! Raffaella
Ciao Raffaella. I deleted the new unusable one but when opened read simply '0' (example attached). I am attaching my current 'fonts.dir' which, to add estre (estre.ttf already in the fonts file) was copy the entry for georgia, change the names and then paste in the correct alphabetical sequence. Opened cinelerra 'et voila'. Don't worry, I knew nothing about font files before this morning. Still don't know much. Good luck and let me know how you do.

Ciao Oliver! Thank you for the files!In fact my fonts.dir seems in good shape. See it (renamed to fonts.txt) at http://www.g-raffa.eu/Pastebin/fonts.txt This is the result of running: cd /usr/lib/cinelerra/fonts/ sudo ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale sudo mkfontdir sudo fc-cache Panefresco is my new font. Still it doesn't appear among the default fonts in Cinelerra. Ciao! Raffaella
Hi Raffaella. Hum. I just downloaded Panefresco250wtItalic.ttf from http://www.fonts2u.com/download/panefresco-250wt-italic.font extracted it and moved the file to /usr/lib/cinelerra/fonts/ and then copied and pasted the relevant lines from your 'fonts.txt' to my 'fonts.dir' and it shows in the titles list and works fine in cinelerra. Perhaps your .ttf is corrupted?? Let me know how you go and in the meantime I'll try the mkfontdir sequence again.

Not sure what I did wrong before but it's fine and > panefresco works fine. How strange. My Panefresco fonts looks ok in the Font Viewer. I'm using my old machine with Ubuntu 11.04 and Cinelerra 2.1.5 but I would be surprised if this were relevant. Ciao Raffaella

Ah good, well done
I just had to add a set of fonts tonight.
Used the ttmkfdir utility, but had to find it on the web first!
That is the easiest and hopefully safest way to add fonts.
