Set the "Height" to something reasonable, for example "0.1"Įxample (two lines of text, stacked vertically): In the "Font" pull down, select "LiberationMono-Regular" (or the selected test font file). Verify that "Options" -> "Application Preferences" -> "Paths" -> "Fonts" shows "/opt/lff_fonts". Re-open LibreCAD (Closing and reopening is needed to re-read the path data) Verify that the "Fonts" line indicates "/opt/lff_fonts"Ĭlick the "OK" button on the "Application Preferences" box. (Remember, you are looking for a path to files, not the files themselves.) Single click on the "lff_fonts" folder/directory, then click the "Choose" button. Navigate the "Fonts:" entry to "/opt/lff_fonts"Įither delete the default path and type in the new/above path, orĬlick the folder icon and the "Find Directory" box appears. Navigate to "Options" -> "Application Preferences". Verify that file /opt/lff_fonts/LiberationMono-Regular.lff exists.Įxit root and return to regular user mode. If there is no file, use a different font file.Īs root: mkdir /opt/lff_fonts ttf2lff /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf /opt/lff_fonts/LiberationMono-Regular.lff Mac and Windows users may want to obtain them. Most modern Linuxes have the Liberation fonts installed. Verify that there is a font file: /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf. Verify that there are font files in /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ Steps to reproduce or sample fileĬreate and install a non-standard font, in a non-standard location. Since mono-spacing doesn't appear to work, am I really using the "LiberationMono-Regular.lff" file or is LibreCAD using something else and not telling me? There may be several issues here. Below, came from the effort to obtain a mono-spaced font.īTW, even using a mono-spaced font (LiberationMono-Regular, I check this in LibreOffice Writer) LibreCAD doesn't mono-space the text. The old trick of a mono-spaced font and counting characters is the work around. The "MText" command doesn't implement the tab character to allow the alignment of multiple entries on several lines. I want to create a table in LibreCAD (Switch positions versus contact connections) adjacent to a switch module. If I install new lff fonts in a custom location, upon closing and reopening a drawing the font is "forgotten" by LibreCAD.Īctually, this is incidental to my task. Problem: LibreCAD "forgets" non-standard fonts.
