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.
