Finally checked into the GIT for the Manual as suggested. At the same time, I reworked the Title plugin Font section some to put the various ways to change the Fonts to be used all in 1 section. |

@Andrew-R Glad you provided the solution using mkfontscale -- that is probably what caused my problem also. And I did not know what OTF versus TTF was so you proved that it worked. I will try to clear up some of the confusion in the manual about adding different fonts. Thanks. I will mark this resolved in a week or so just to make sure Jacques has problems with his specific implementaion. |

@PhyllisSmith ah, no need for source hacks! mkfontscale /usr/share/fonts/OTF (as root, but guess if you use custom font folder in user home directory it will work as normal user too) and then BC_FONT_PATH=":/usr/share/fonts/OTF" cin |

so, starting cingg like this BC_FONT_PATH=":/usr/share/fonts/OTF" cin I sadly can't see only subset of all fonts (OTF) but there in cinelerra-5.1/guicast/bcresources.C I can see (be searching for BC_FONT_PATH) // Load all the fonts from fontconfig FcPattern *pat; FcFontSet *fs; FcObjectSet *os; FcChar8 *family, *file, *foundry, *style, *format; int slant, spacing, width, weight; int force_style = 0; // if you want limit search to TrueType put 1 int limit_to_trutype = 1; FcConfig *config; int i; char tmpstring[BCTEXTLEN]; and a bit later for (i = 0; fs && i < fs->nfont; i++) { FcPattern *font = fs->fonts[i]; force_style = 0; fcPatternGetString(font, FC_FONTFORMAT, 0, &format); //on this point you can limit font search if(limit_to_trutype && strcmp((char *)format, "TrueType")) continue; Now I run fc-scan utility like this fc-scan /usr/share/fonts/ttf/ | grep fontformat fontformat: "TrueType"(s) fontformat: "TrueType"(s) [a lot more] fc-scan /usr/share/fonts/OTF/ | grep fontformat fontformat: "CFF"(s) fontformat: "CFF"(s) fontformat: "CFF"(s) so may be logically add this "CFF" string to this condition too, like if(limit_to_trutype && ( strcmp((char *)format, "TrueType") ||strcmp((char *)format, "CFF") ) ) ? I'll try this on my termux version ... |

@Jacques-89 2) How can I have a list of favorite fonts and not the whole list? Works already with AppImage: export BC_FONT_PATH=:/usr/share/fonts for example. The ":" removes all of the fonts including the CinGG defaults and as an example the "/usr/share/fonts" adds those. BUT, CinGG will only load the fonts in that directory IF they are of the expected format (which I am not sure what that is). So, in my case, I have at least 105 font types in /usr/share/fonts, but only 3 of liberation-mono , liberation-sans, liberation-serif actually got loaded. Is this what @Andrew-R is referencing? Thank goodness for the manual as there are so many features that I forget about. Maybe this section in the manual concerning adding fonts should be more together. |

@Jacques-89 1) Thanks for passing this along. I will update the manual as you recommended. 2) DeepL translation: How can I have a list of favorite fonts and not the whole list? (Deleting 642 which is a duplicate) |

> if you wnt to add fonts, add files directly to ~/.fonts and you have it in the list of fonts in Title. Please update manual. .. I think font list using .fonts in user directory folder actually fontconfig feature? > is that possible to have only a Favorites list of fonts better than all the list? But so far I have no idea how to filter/manipulate those lists in c++ ... As far as I understad this request is for manual "favorites" FONT list in CinGG ? > Is that possible to have otf file in the list? As long as OTF supported by freetype I hope yes, unless there is font extension filter string passed down to fontconfig/freetype ... |
